Our Mission
We are committed to supporting the healing from family of origin wounds with care, clarity, and compassion. Early family experiences shape how we relate to ourselves and others, often creating patterns that persist well into adulthood. Our approach brings awareness to these patterns while honoring the complexity of family systems and the resilience it takes to navigate them.
Grounded in trauma-informed practice, our work blends thoughtful education with practical, reflective tools designed to promote insight without judgment or blame. We believe healing happens at your own pace, in ways that feel emotionally safe and empowering. Our goal is to help you better understand your story, reconnect with your sense of self, and move forward with greater confidence, balance, and choice.
We are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists and Certified EMDR providers specializing in systemic and relational healing. We have a particular focus on family of origin wounds and relational ruptures in childhood. We have been in practice together for over a decade, and have been running a successful private practice since 2019.
Our Story
We work with complex couple and family dynamics, as well as individuals experiencing a range of symptoms. Regardless of who is sitting in front of us, we take a systemic approach to the healing process to ensure integrated healing and lasting change. In addition to running a successful, high-demand private practice, we provide continuing education resources to mental health practitioners to support ethical, trauma-informed clinical care for their clients.
Meet Us
Christina is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified EMDR provider. Christina is a trauma informed, attachment based therapist that works with a range of issues, including mood disorders, executive dysfunction, and complex relational dynamics. Christina specializes in working with adult daughters of emotionally immature, unavailable, or inconsistent mothers. Many of Christina’s clients come to therapy feeling chronically guilty, emotionally exhausted, unsure of their own needs, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or over-responsibility. Often, they’ve spent a lifetime being “the strong one” while quietly carrying grief, anger, or confusion about their relationship with their mother. Through this work, Christina developed the series, “Have You Called Your Mother?!”. Christina has been facilitating these popular and effective workshops and groups for members of the community since 2022.
