Hey. I’m Cristine.

I create a space where you can be fully, you.

I specialize in helping high achieving and successful women overcome trauma, break toxic relational cycles and feel more connected to themselves & those they love the most. Together, we will get to the root of your core issues so you can live a life of purpose & fulfillment.

My clients walk away from therapy with me aligned with their authentic self. They feel seen, confident & whole. They have done the work & are now able to show up in relationships with more compassion, love and understanding for themselves & others.

I offer intensive style therapy for those who are ready to take a deep dive into their stories & feel relief quickly. Intensives allow you to accomplish in days what can take years in traditional therapy.

Special areas of focus: Complex Attachment and Relational Trauma, Maternal Mental Health, Brainspotting, Intensives, Psychedelic Prep and Integration

Change can be scary and overwhelming. I’m here to be your guide. We’ll go gently and at your pace. We will get curious about your story and what has led you here.

You may be feeling …

• disconnected from your core self

• unable to distinguish your authentic voice from others

• lacking in awareness of inherent value

• disbelief that your needs and wants actually matter

By healing your core issues, you will be reconnected with your authentic self, able to regulate your nervous system, set boundaries and show up as a healthy adult in relationships.
