Hi, I’m Celina. I believe that true well-being comes from the harmony of emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical health. In therapy, I take a holistic, person-centered approach—creating a warm, grounded space where individuals and couples can explore what’s holding them back and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I specialize in helping people strengthen their relationships, heal from trauma, and deepen their self-awareness. Whether you're working through old wounds, navigating disconnection with a partner, or simply trying to understand yourself better, I’ll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based tools that support real, lasting change.

I’m trained in The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy and in EMDR for trauma work, and I often draw from attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My work is rooted in the belief that when we understand the impact of our past, we can show up more fully in the present—with ourselves and with others.

One of my favorite quotes is from Dr. Caroline Leaf: “The minute you're aware of something, it's weakened. Anything that's weakened is changeable.” That’s the heart of what I love about therapy—watching people uncover what’s been getting in their way, and then helping them change it.

When I’m not in session, I’m probably laughing (loudly), writing for my Substack, doing puzzles, taking long walks with my husband, or trying to keep my plants alive.
