Cristina Trette is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping couples restore love. She works with couples facing some of the most painful and pivotal moments in their relationship, including infidelity, chronic distance, entrenched patterns of conflict, and marriages on the brink of divorce.

Drawing from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and attachment theory, Cristina’s approach combines compassion, light-heartedness, and directness. She helps couples repair emotional injuries, communicate clearly, balance intense emotions, and rebuild the trust and connection that have been lost.

In addition to her private practice, Cristina teaches Hold Me Tight® workshops and retreats, based on the work of Dr. Sue Johnson and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. These workshops give couples dedicated time away from the demands of everyday life to focus on their relationship, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, have meaningful conversations, and begin connecting in new ways.

Cristina has dedicated her career to helping couples move through relationship difficulties with greater presence and intention. At the heart of her work is a hopeful but grounded belief that relationships can grow and change, even after significant hurt or years of disconnection, when people are willing to look at themselves, see their impact on their partner, and engage in the work of healing and repair.

Outside of her work, Cristina enjoys spending time with her life partner and their five children in Encinitas where they live. She feels most restored when she is with her family, near the ocean, running along the 101, or spending time in nature.
