AMFT #156135 exp 7/31/26

Christian is a bilingual (Spanish-English) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) based in the Bay Area, dedicated to delivering trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. He holds a Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from San Francisco State University, where he developed a strong clinical foundation in supporting individuals, children, and families across diverse communities.

Christian has extensive experience working with individuals navigating substance use disorders (SUD), utilizing a client-centered approach grounded in harm reduction and recovery-oriented care. His clinical work also includes supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and housing insecurity. Across both community-based and county mental health settings, he has served marginalized populations with a focus on meeting clients where they are, fostering resilience, and promoting sustainable, meaningful change.

Outside of his clinical work, Christian values balance and creativity. He enjoys staying active through fitness and movement, playing video games, and reading. He also spends time exploring the outdoors on hikes with his partner and their small pup, and finds joy in baking and experimenting with new recipes at home.
