Somatic therapy for anxiety and stress in Oakland and online across California
Do you relate to any of these?
-
You dream of taking a break but you think, “if I stop or slow down, everything might fall apart”.
-
It's difficult to know your needs and set boundaries.
At times you feel guilty as you try to say “no” to another request for your time and energy.
-
You spend a lot of time overthinking and wonder what is the right thing to do or what could go wrong.
-
Perfectionism and imposter syndrome keep you stuck in a cycle between procrastination and overworking.
You are a high achiever yet something still feels off from your life’s purpose.
-
Anxiety and chronic stress are causing you to feel physical sensations like insomnia, restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, short breath, aches and pains.
Perhaps you are facing a significant change in your life or a loss that’s asking you to slow down…
Or you have been going and going for a long time and you are ready to begin making space for your healing to get to know yourself and your needs better…
Because despite everything you are doing you feel lost and disconnected from yourself, your relationships and your life’s direction.
No matter where you are on your path,
things don’t have to stay the way they feel right now.
It is possible to find space to breathe and figure out what you need.
Hola. I am María Cristina.
I offer you a space where you can be fully, unapologetically you.
I offer a holistic body-mind approach called somatic therapy for the relief from anxiety and chronic stress. Somatic therapy can support you activate your own healing capacities and restore emotional balance and self-trust.
If you are longing to heal from the impact of a culture that glorifies non-stop productivity, that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and burned-out…
I’m glad you are here.
I am a born and raised Puerto Rican therapist living Oakland, California. I help BIPOC women, Latinx/e, immigrants, cultural workers, healers, creatives and folks that move in-between cultures and identities as they transform anxiety and chronic stress into purposeful and joyful lives.
