Hello, I am Cristina Wood, LMFT
Reaching out for help is proof of your strengths
I am here to help!
Whether you are looking for a fulfilling career, harmonious relationships, resilient children, and a life abundant in purpose. I am here to help. I provide tailored tools and insights to unlock every individual's potential.
I believe that we already have inside us, everything we need to accomplish anything we want to in our lives. We have the ability – in the middle of complete despair – to link ourselves with that little flame in our heart that fuels our soul and connects us with LIFE. The process can be challenging, but it is rewarding and enriching. It sets us free, makes us stronger, and gives us the power to move in the direction of a life full of possibilities. 🙂
