ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Christina!
I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist practicing here in Marin County. My work is grounded in behavioral therapy, and a firm belief that people can change.
I prefer a flexible and collaborative approach that evolves as we work together. Though the foundation of my work is behavioral, I develop integrated treatment plans for each new client, drawing on other evidence-based modalities and new research.
My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors.
​
Possibly the most important factor of any psychotherapy is the client’s connection to and rapport with their therapist. Let’s meet to see if we would be a collaborative match. I am also happy to refer you to someone in my vast network of local clinicians.
