Empower U Bilingual EMDR Therapy

If you are a bicultural individual, who feel torn between two worlds, I get it and EMDR therapy can help you heal from anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, shame, and self-sabotage. I support my clients in finding peace, developing healthier relationship dynamics, and reconnecting with their true selves. This allows them to love their family, honor their culture, and remain authentic to who they are. My specialties include Transgenerational Trauma and Complex Trauma. Depression and anxiety are often rooted in unresolved trauma. I am a certified EMDR therapist. Additional services I offer include therapy for immigrants, terapia en español, EMDR therapy, and cross-cultural parenting support. Reach out for a free fifteen minute phone consultation

Her ability to truly listen and understand each patient's needs sets her apart. Cristina always goes above and beyond, providing thoughtful care and support that makes a real difference in the lives of those she treats. Patients are lucky to have her! ~ Isabel F
You don't need to look any further for a therapist, because Cristina is who you want to see. She has an uncanny ability to get to know someone and truly hear and understand what her clients need. She forever blows me away in her pursuit of expanding her knowledge to help her clients live better lives and it's obvious she loves helping those with transgenerational trauma, anxiety and depression. I highly recommend Cristina to anyone seeking effective therapy to resolve what has been causing distress in their life. ~ Jessica M
Cristina is an amazing therapist who truly understands the struggle of juggling multiple cultural identities and the pressures that are related to being a first generation American. She is skilled in EMDR and helping clients heal from intergenerational trauma. ~ Victoria M
