Thank you for valuing yourself enough to access support. You are on the right path. Much of my work has focused on supporting individuals managing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, family discord, school avoidance, body dysmorphia, and disordered eating.
My goal for working with you is to achieve the most profound change in the shortest period of time. Being influenced by body-based modalities such as Somatic Experiencing and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), we are able to go beyond traditional dialogue together and access trauma stored in the body.
Combining these practices with a relationship based in authenticity is what I have experienced to be the key to progress. My approach is especially beneficial when working with clients who are experiencing physical manifestations of their emotional suffering.

"Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the event itself. They arise when residual energy from the experience is not discharged from the body. This energy remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreak havoc on our bodies and minds" - Peter Levine

I believe one of the bravest and greatest acts of self-care is to ask for help and support when needed. Through the use of an individualized and holistic approach, I encourage clients to recognize their wholeness; emphasizing mind, body and soul connection to support a person's overall well being. I believe physical and emotional wellbeing are profoundly interconnected.
I am passionate about supporting folks who may be struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, trauma, and issues related to gender diversity and acceptance through the use of CBT, ACT, mindfulness training, and trauma informed care.
I was trained as a research assistant in the UCLA Marriage and Relationships Lab where I received my B.A. in sociology with an emphasis in psychology and then continued my education at California Lutheran University where I earned my Master's degree in marriage and family therapy. It was during my time in graduate school where I was trained to specialize in trauma and found my passion for working with the body and nervous system as it relates to ways in which trauma manifests within us. I now utilize Brainspotting in my practice for this reason.
I have worked in a community counseling center and private practice settings to support individuals, couples, and families of various backgrounds. It would be an honor to support you on your journey.

I strive to provide a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive therapeutic environment by highlighting the client’s background and belief system, as it connects to other important elements that make up a client’s identity. This will allow me to understand a client’s unique perspective of their world, while building on creating a strong therapeutic alliance. I utilize techniques that are rooted in a holistic framework using evidence-based modalities such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, breathwork, mindfulness and meditative practices. This nurtures a compassionate and empowering environment for my clients to thrive in and out of the therapy room. Ultimately, I hope that together we embark on a transformative and healing journey.
I am passionate about serving a wide range of clients, especially those navigating anxiety, challenging emotions or thoughts, life transitions and unresolved trauma.
My goal is to empower clients towards resiliency and wholeness by encouraging self-love, compassion and wellness.
I earned a double Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, as well as one in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I then continued my education, earning a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family therapy from California Lutheran University. Prior to joining Canyon Creek counseling, I worked at a community clinic supporting children, youth, adults and older adults, by providing treatment in English and Spanish.

Hello, and thank you for stopping by. My name is Christine and I’m passionate about supporting individuals through the ups and downs of life, whether you're dealing with suffering, pain, mental health challenges, transitions, or relationship issues. I believe that while no life or person is perfect, it's possible to create a fulfilling and meaningful life even in the face of adversity. In therapy, we don’t need to ignore the difficulties you face to find happiness. My goal is to help you acknowledge and work through these challenges while finding joy and meaning alongside them. My approach is holistic and person-centered, which means I bring empathy and non-judgment to every single session. I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Solution-Focused Therapy to find what works best for you. Additionally, I’m passionate about teaching practical skills such as mindfulness, grounding, and distress tolerance that you can use in your everyday life.
With my background as a former school counselor, I have extensive experience supporting K-12 students with their academic, social, and emotional needs and helping them navigate crises. Now, as a mental health clinician, I’m committed to helping you build your identity, self-esteem, and confidence. Together, we’ll explore your core beliefs, thought patterns, and the impact of your cultural and personal experiences. I look forward to working with you to explore your inner world and create positive change, so you can feel empowered and lead a happier and healthier life.

Life is about maintaining balance in all aspects, through love. There is so much out there to learn and grow from, so why not have fun doing it?
A little about me: I am a huge nerd, which looks like constantly listening to audibles and/or podcasts such as Huberman Lab and non-fiction books. I enjoy being outdoors, doing anything active: snowboarding, motorcycle rides, dirt biking, hiking, any movement really. I also love traveling. My parents are from Peru, so I visit there often. I also speak Spanish - Tambien hablo español!
Therapy can help your understanding of where your emotions come from,
connecting the past to the present, and decreasing the intensity by making sense of it. In order for others to understand you, you have to understand yourself first.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human
freedoms—to choose ones attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way.”
-Viktor E Frankl
My therapy style is warm and welcoming, but I won't shy away from challenging you towards health. I want you to heal, grow, and flourish. Therapy does not always have to be serious; I incorporate humor and add fun into sessions. I will explain the science of therapy using psychoeducation, and predict the process to set you up for success.
My goal for you is to heal the root, it won’t be easy but it will be worth it and I will guide you every step of the way. Some measurable factors that therapy is working: increased quality of sleep, blood pressure and pulse regulated, clear mind, decrease in nightmares, and if you have a medical condition then the symptoms may decrease (pain, headaches, skin rashes, constipation, infections, high blood pressure or heart rate, etc), increase in immune response, ability to relate and connect, decrease in defensive
responses.Your life changes the moment you feel solidified in who you are and how to manage stress. Let’s do this!

I strike a delicate balance between providing loving support and challenging clients to step outside their comfort zones in order to achieve growth and lasting change.

codependency, expats, creatives, and postpartum identity and adjustment. I know this process can be intimidating but I’m here to guide you through it with honesty, humor, and a warm, supportive presence. Together, we will explore your goals and challenges,

In order to feel at peace in one’s life, I believe that balance is key. When anxiety or depression manifest, I think it can be due to an imbalance among six major components essential for a healthy life. These components are: Mind, Body, Soul, Love, Play and Work. In therapy, I like to examine each of these essential facets of functioning, By doing so, we can learn which areas are needing more love and ultimately begin to uncover the roots of the imbalances altogether.
Through a holistic lens, I look at a person as a whole being who needs each sector functioning well in order to thrive. When traumatic incidents occur, the painful after-effects can really throw our lives out of harmony if not attended to properly. Therapy is a brave and wonderful way to begin or continue the healing journey of working with your experiences to deepen your understanding of yourself, heal emotional wounds and increase levels of happiness.
As a therapist, I strive to bring a sense of calmness, warmth and authenticity to our sessions, so that we can explore and create new ways of coping with the ups and downs of life. I utilize a Person-Centered approach, which emphasizes empathy and the fundamental belief that every individual has the power to self-actualize and make positive changes in their life. I like to work within a holistic framework and pull from a range of therapeutic tools including: Mindfulness, Meditation, Breathwork and Somatic-based practices. I look forward to embarking on this healing journey together.
“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here” – Ram Dass
