About Me

 

Hi there.

My name is Dr. Christine. I am a bilingual & bicultural licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) who specializes in maternal mental health, children (ages 0-10 years), and families.

Working with women as they transition into and within motherhood is my passion work. I had a miscarriage a few years ago followed by an anxious rainbow baby pregnancy and these experiences cracked my whole heart open. The journey of motherhood is so incredibly wild and it challenges us in ways we never fathomed. Amidst these challenges life continues; we continue to have jobs, partners, friends, & family that require us to be present. I find the therapeutic space to be a vital one during these immense transitions.

I strive to create space that is culturally humble within a social justice framework. I facilitate exploration, self-discovery, self-compassion, and problem solving for my clients as they navigate challenges. If you are ready to explore your experiences of pain, joy, & healing to create more harmony as you navigate life reach out for a free discovery call .
