Hi, I’m Dr. Cristina Buus
I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to providing a warm, collaborative space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that healing happens in relationship – whether you’re navigating a difficult life transition, working through anxiety or depression, facing grief, or processing trauma, you don’t have to face it alone.
I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, grief and loss, trauma, and self-esteem. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story. Together, we’ll explore the patterns and experiences that shape your life and work toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need some support, I’m here to walk alongside you.
I look forward to meeting you.
