A place where growth isn’t theoretical. It’s felt.
I spent years studying how the mind works — how thoughts shape feelings, how early patterns echo into adulthood, how people can look wildly “put together” yet feel quietly overwhelmed inside.
But the real turning point came when I realized something simple and unsettling:
An impressive life can still feel uninhabited.
I saw it in my research. I saw it in my clients.
And, if I’m honest, I saw it in myself.
That realization changed everything.
It pushed me to build a place where therapy is active, deeply attuned, science-informed, and human to the core.
MY PATH INTO THIS WORK WASN’T A STRAIGHT LINE
Hi, I'm Christina
Working with us means slowing down enough to hear yourself, and feeling supported enough to change what no longer fits.
You’re here because something in your life feels misaligned. Not broken—just ready for a truer version of itself. Our job is to help you understand your patterns, soften what’s been hard, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and fully lived.
But let's focus on what really matters: you
Change becomes sustainable when insight meets emotional attunement.
Growth that actually lasts
Not worksheets. Not generic advice. Practices designed for your nervous system.
Tools that fit your real life
We help you build relationships where honesty and safety can coexist.
Connection that feels steady, not performative
You’ll understand your patterns with language that finally makes sense.
Clarity that cuts through the noise
What you can expect here
Stanford. UCLA. Cornell. Dartmouth. NIH-funded research. Advanced training in EMDR, ERP, CBT, ACT, EFT, Gottman, and RLT. Our team brings a level of expertise you don’t often see in a private practice, and we pair it with the kind of attunement that makes real change possible.
What that means for you?
Therapy that’s grounded in science, delivered with heart, and tailored to who you are, not a one-size-fits-all blueprint.
If you like your therapy warm, human, and backed by serious scientific chops, welcome!
Expertise you Can feel, from the first conversation
Meet all the faces that make Minds Matter a warm and welcoming environment.

Behind every modality and credential is a human who cares deeply. Our clinicians are thoughtful, rigorously trained, and rooted in the kind of emotional presence that makes therapy feel alive. Each brings their own lens, their own style, their own spark, but we work from a shared belief in attunement, connection, and growth that lasts.
We're excited to meet you!
