Hi, I’m Christina and I’m so glad you’re here.

 

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) whose goal is to help Highly Sensitive Introverts embrace their unique strength of sensitivity and find stillness in the storm of self-doubt, overwhelm, and perfectionism that act as barriers to living our most fulfilling life.

 

“You are too sensitive.” Does this statement sound familiar? So often we have been told that our quiet, sensitive nature is too much or that it is something to overcome. This often leads us to question, “Is there something wrong with me?” The needs and expectations of others become the center point of which we navigate our lives. When we begin to understand, embrace, and prioritize our needs as highly sensitive people (HSP), we can finally move through the world at our own pace and begin to trust our inner voice.

 

I am here to help guide you through your journey as you navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. I am here to encourage a sense of empowerment as you begin to let go of the guilt, stop the comparison, and start creating a life on your own terms so that your unique gifts can shine through.

 

I received my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. I have experience working in School-Based settings, Outpatient Settings, and Community-Based Mental Health settings. I approach therapy from a client-centered, strength-based, and relational perspective, with a focus on empathy, genuineness, and humor. My therapeutic philosophy is that individuals are the experts of their own lives and know what they need and want. It would be my honor to help guide you to a greater sense of empowerment, encourage deeper understanding, and achieve greater insight, so that you can begin to move through the world feeling strong and confident in your authentic, sensitive self.
