LCSW, 15 years of experience
I'm an LCSW and my work is rooted in compassion, understanding, and a deep commitment to social justice. I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal, grow, and thrive on your own terms. With the use of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other modalities, I will gently challenge you to lean into the hard parts of life that are causing disruption. We'll get uncomfortable while inviting laughter and a sense of humor to tackle deep emotional wounds and challenges.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My greatest strengths as a provider encompass empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I actively engage with clients, nurturing a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in trust and respect. I foster growth and resilience by challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to empower clients to embrace change and cultivate the life they want to live.
I love working with people who are ready to unpack and challenge the messages, beliefs, relationships, systems, and structures that have shaped them. I enjoy helping people discern the negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors keeping them stuck.

Kristina has helped me so much in the past couple of weeks. I'm now able to think rationally through my panic attacks and avoidant behaviors - she has truly been a lifesaver. I'm so thankful for her help.

I'm so grateful to be working with Kristian. She’s amazing. She helps me work through things in a way that feels clear and supportive. She offers thoughtful ideas that give me so much to think about. I’m starting to understand parts of myself I never really slowed down to consider before. I’m truly thankful.
