Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Do past experiences, birth trauma, or constant worry make it hard to feel present or hard to enjoy daily life? If these feelings resonate, know that you're not alone. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for women and mothers, offering compassionate support through life's most tender transitions.
I'm Christina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and passionate advocate for maternal mental health. Seeking support takes courage, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this journey. At Materna Butterfly Therapy, I believe in the power of transformation and the inherent beauty within every individual. My mission is to create a safe, nurturing space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can unfold.
Navigating Motherhood & Mental Health
Pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood can be beautiful—and profoundly complex. Feelings of overwhelm, guilt, anxiety, sadness, and disconnection are incredibly common, especially when layered with past trauma or unexpected challenges. You are not alone.
Having personally navigated prenatal anxiety, birth trauma, and postpartum struggles, I bring both clinical expertise and lived empathy to the therapeutic space. I understand how isolating these experiences can feel, and I'm here to help you process, heal, and reconnect—with yourself, your story, and your strength.
Specialized Therapy for Anxiety, Depression & Trauma
I offer therapy for women and mothers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My advanced training in perinatal mental health allows me to support you through prenatal anxiety and depression, birth trauma, postpartum mood disorders including OCD, panic, and emotional overwhelm, and the everyday complexities of parenting.
Whether you're healing from a specific experience or carrying the invisible weight of past trauma, I provide a space where you can feel grounded, understood, and empowered. My approach integrates evidence-based, trauma-informed modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), always tailored to your pace and your goals.
Your Path to Healing & Transformation
Healing is not linear, and transformation rarely happens all at once. It unfolds in moments of clarity, connection, and courage. Together, we'll uncover the strength and resilience within you, guiding you toward the healing you deserve.
I offer virtual therapy across California and Walk & Talk Therapy in Simi Valley. Every session is shaped by your story, your pace, and your goals—held with compassion, intention, and care.
