I'm Cristina, a betrayal trauma therapist based in Frisco, Texas, providing virtual therapy to clients across the state. My work focuses on evidence-based support for betrayal trauma, infidelity, and divorce, helping adults throughout Texas find clarity and healing after their trust has been broken.

My path into this work was never straightforward. Life has asked me to redefine myself more than once, moving through seasons of uncertainty, loss, and change, and figuring out who I was again when things no longer felt familiar. Because of that, I understand how unsettling it feels when life shifts beneath you and the person you once knew yourself to be no longer feels fully intact.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business world. On paper, it made sense. But the longer I stayed there, the more I realized I was far more drawn to people than anything happening on a spreadsheet. I found myself wanting to understand what shapes us, what hurts us, what keeps us stuck, and what helps us heal. That pull stayed with me until I finally stopped ignoring it and chose to follow it.

I've always wanted to understand things deeply, not just symptoms or behaviors, but the emotional experience underneath them: the relationship patterns, the grief people carry quietly, the ways we lose ourselves trying to survive difficult things, and the parts of us that still want healing even after disappointment or pain. That curiosity is both personal and professional, and it shapes how I sit with people: present, thoughtful, and unhurried, even with what's complex.

Part of that depth comes from my own lived experience. I've experienced betrayal trauma personally, the kind that can shake your sense of reality, trust, identity, and emotional safety. It changed me, both as a person and as a therapist.

Not because I believe my story is the same as yours, but because I understand how layered these experiences can be.

I know what it feels like to look okay on the outside while quietly trying to make sense of something painful and life-changing. I know how exhausting it is to overthink, overfunction, question yourself, and still try to hold everything together at once.

Because of that, I approach this work with care, calm presence, and deep respect for what people carry.

When you sit across from me, my hope is that you feel genuinely seen, not judged, rushed, or reduced to a set of symptoms, but supported as a whole person, finding clarity, healing, and a stronger connection to yourself again.
