Cristina

Hey , I’m Cristina, founder of Grow Like a Girl. I’m a therapist, professional hype woman, and occasional F-bomb enthusiast. If you’re looking for stuffy, sit-up-straight therapy, you’re in the wrong place. Around here, we’re all about messy growth, honest conversations, and celebrating every breakthrough, no matter how small.

I’ve spent the last decade walking alongside incredible individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship chaos, trauma, and all the wild twists life throws our way. Through it all, one thing stays true; you don’t need fixing. You need someone in your corner who gets it, keeps it real, and reminds you how powerful you already are.

When you step into my space, expect real talk, real laughs, real healing. And yes, real comfy pants, because life's too short for anything else. Therapy with me feels less like sitting in a cold office and more like catching up with your ride-or-die over coffee, except I have the tools to help you untangle the hard stuff and build a life you love.

At Grow Like a Girl, we don’t shrink to fit into anyone’s mold. We grow, we rise, and we do it unapologetically. Ready to step into your power? I’m so here for it.
