Currently Accepting New Clients! Additional weeknight spots added as of September 1st! Hi, I'm Cristina! Welcome to my practice, Grow Like a Girl. For over a decade, I've had the privilege of working alongside many incredible individuals facing challenging situations and emotions including anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. My passion lies in supporting women as they navigate the ups and downs of life, offering a safe space where they can feel heard and understood. I've worked with a wide range of ages but I specialize in ages 16-40s.
Imagine stepping into a cozy living room with comfy couches and soft lighting-that's the atmosphere I strive to create in my sessions. I'm all about keeping things laid back and casual because I believe therapy should feel like chatting with a friend (who happens to have a knack for helping to process your thoughts).
My mission is to empower women to embrace their authenticity, reclaim their power, and live wholeheartedly. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, healing from past traumas, or simply a safe space to be heard, I am here for you.
