Welcome

Hello there! ​I am Cristina Trette. I help couples cultivate romantic relationships that thrive.

​I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working exclusively with couples. Currently I offer online couples counseling. I serve clients located all over the State of California and my office is based in Encinitas.

About Couples Therapy

We have a great relationship and want our love to last

We need help with communication and navigating conflict

We want more emotional connection and closeness

Our sex life is struggling, we miss the passion we used to have

We can't seem to get on the same page, we disagree often

We want to be able to trust again, heal, and move forward

We are struggling to decide if we want to stay married or get a divorce

I hear phrases like these echoed regularly during consultation calls. All kinds of couples and individuals, facing all sorts of challenges, call to inquire about marriage and relationship counseling. Underneath the specifics of their particular story I hear a simple unifying theme: Couples want a happy and healthy relationship that feels good. Utilizing the model of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I help couples create the kind of relationship they truly want.
