Hello! 🙂
I am Cristina Wood
You can have the relationship you want.
As an experienced relationship therapist, I've had the privilege of witnessing contless couples transform their relationships over the years. They've turned challenges into opportunities, differences into strengths, and communication hurdles into heart-to-heart dialogues. It is a beautiful process to see two people rediscover their connection and equip themselves with the skills to navigate future challenges with grace and understanding. I completed the Level 3 Practicum Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and use this method in my work.
Are you feeling Alone, distant and unfulfilled
in your relationship?

The deep understanding and appreciation partners have of each other's worlds, encompassing their hopes, fears, and intricacies, and serve as the foundational roadmap for maintaining intimacy and connection in a relationship
Sharing Fondiness and Admiration
Sharing fondness and admiration is the practice of actively expressing appreciation, respect, and affection towards one's partner, reinforcing the positive qualities and strengths that form the backbone of a resilient and thriving relationship.
Turning Toward Instead of Away
Turning towards instead of away means choosing to engage and respond positively to your partner's bids for attention, connection, or support, fostering a deeper bond and cultivating a consistent atmosphere of trust and intimacy
Create Shared Meaning
Creating shared meaning involves building a collective narrative and shared rituals, values, and goals, enriching the relationship with deeper layers of connection and shared purpose
Positive Perspective
