Getting to know Cristina Ayala

Hello! My name is Cristina Ayala, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in treating trauma and use evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR, to address trauma-related symptoms. I approach mental health holistically, exploring the mind, body, and spirit to support healing. I like to work collaboratively with you to create goals and explore the areas of healing that are most important for you. My approach While I practice EMDR for trauma-related symptoms, I conceptualize through an attachment lens and aim to help clients connect with their bodies and learn grounding techniques through somatic methods. My focus I primarily work with adults experiencing various mental health symptoms that may stem from trauma. My communication style I take a client-centered approach and strive to create a safe space where you feel comfortable opening up and sharing.
