(she/her)
Hi, I'm Kristina and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland and North Carolina. Are you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed? Do you feel that difficult thoughts and feelings make it hard to do things that you once enjoyed? Maybe even impacting your relationships with the important people in your life? I help people manage stress, anxiety , depression, relationship issues and other clinical issues. I will be there to support and guide you on your therapy journey. Everyone is unique and different, so I do not use a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. I tend to use elements of evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client Centered and mindfulness techniques.
During sessions, we will take a look at what difficult stuff has been impacting you and identify what is important to you. Together we will practice new skills and techniques to unhook from the difficult thoughts and feelings that are getting in the way of you living the life you want to live.
My biggest strength is being supportive of my clients , and creating a safe environment where clients feel they can openly discuss any issues.

I identify as
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients make space for tough thoughts and feelings instead of getting stuck in them. We focus on what really matters to them, and take small, meaningful steps in that direction—even when things feel hard. It’s about living more fully, not perfectly.
