Trained at Loma Linda University licensed as Marital and Family Therapist and Ordained as Minister, I have experience working in both outpatient and inpatient settings with youth and adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues.
Licensed in California, with over 12 years of experience I specialize in treatment for Anxiety, Depression, Medical professionals' mental health, Premarital counseling, Spirituality & religion based issues.
My approach to psychotherapeutic treatment resembles a gym workout: first there is the hard, challenging and often frustrating work, followed by a rewarding sense of peaceful healing. Knowing that change is often challenging, I assist and accompany my patients to explore and embrace the benefits of positive change throughout the entire journey of healing.
Humans are fascinating masterpieces; the human mind - a captivating marvel!
In the course of life's journey many experiences shape who we are, who we become. Our ability to adapt to circumstances is not the only asset to navigate life, as our mind has the amazing ability to affect a positive transformation: "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2

Cristian is so insightful and kind, I left behind a traumatizing home life and he met me with so much patience, wisdom, and understanding. I am beyond grateful to have Cristian as my first experience with a therapist. He always has wonderful analogies that help you understand and grow. I feel so confident in his help and feel empowered to continue growing and healing. His presence is truly a blessing!
