Hello, what a great day to take the first step toward positive change in your life. My name is Kristina, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with eight years of experience helping clients navigate relationship challenges, intimacy issues, anger management, parenting skills, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and within you lies the strength to overcome life’s challenges. Seeking a more fulfilling and joyful life requires courage, and I am here to support and guide you on that journey. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I use evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs, combining insight-oriented work with practical tools to help you make lasting changes. Whether you’re healing from emotional wounds, working through conflict, or trying to rediscover your sense of purpose, our work together will be grounded in trust and respect. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, validated, and empowered. I am especially passionate about helping individuals break free from patterns that no longer serve them and reconnect with their inner strength and clarity. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Change is possible, and it begins with one small step. Let’s take that step together.
Clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space where we work together to define clear goals and create a personalized treatment plan. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s tailored to your unique needs and when we engage as partners in the healing process. My style is active and directive—I don’t just sit back and nod. I offer thoughtful feedback, ask meaningful questions, and guide the conversation with intention to help you gain insight and move forward. That said, I also honor the importance of having space to simply be heard. If you need time to process emotions or talk freely without interruption, I’m here to listen and hold space with compassion. Each session is shaped by what you need most in that moment, whether it’s support, structure, insight, or silence. My goal is to help you feel both empowered and supported as you navigate your challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
As both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a spiritual healer, I bring a unique blend of clinical training and intuitive insight to the therapeutic space. With eight years of experience and a deep personal commitment to spiritual growth, I guide individuals toward healing by integrating evidence-based approaches like Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mind-Body awareness, and Strength-Based techniques. I believe my greatest strength lies in helping clients reconnect with their inner truth. Many people experience anxiety, depression, or emotional disconnection because they are living out of alignment with who they truly are. My role is not to "fix" anyone, but to serve as a compassionate guide—helping clients uncover their innate strengths, release limiting patterns, and move toward a life that feels authentic and empowering. Having walked my own path of transformation, I understand how challenging and liberating it can be to step into your most aligned self. That lived experience fuels my passion for supporting others through their own awakening. I offer both structure and soul in our work together—balancing practical coping skills with deep, soulful exploration that honors your unique journey. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you feel empowered to trust yourself, speak your truth, and explore your healing without judgment. I believe that the answers you seek are already within you; together, we’ll uncover them—one step at a time.
I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to step into their most authentic selves by integrating psychological insight with a spiritual journey toward greater self-awareness and consciousness. I believe true healing occurs when we are seen and accepted for who we are—body, mind, and spirit. For many, spirituality is an essential part of their identity, yet they often hesitate to speak openly about their beliefs out of fear of judgment, misunderstanding, or ridicule. This silence can leave them feeling isolated and disconnected, without a safe space to fully express themselves. In our work together, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where all parts of you are honored. Whether you draw strength from traditional faith, metaphysical practices, energy work, ancestral connections, or a more intuitive sense of spiritual knowing, I respect and hold space for your truth. I deeply value the trust my clients place in me when they allow themselves to be vulnerable and share the beliefs that shape their inner world. I approach this with humility and reverence, knowing that each person’s path is unique. As we explore your experiences—both psychological and spiritual—you will begin to understand how past wounds, limiting beliefs, or unresolved trauma may have kept you from living as your whole self. With compassionate support, you can begin the process of releasing what no longer serves you and reconnecting with your inner wisdom. This journey is not about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you already are at your core. Through this integrative approach, many of my clients find deeper clarity, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we will cultivate a path toward meaningful change, personal empowerment, and soul-level transformation.
I have been utilizing the Cognitive Behavioral approach for approximately eight years, guiding clients through interactive conversations to explore their concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-established method for treating various mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, I support both men and women who have experienced domestic violence and narcissistic abuse. Through CBT, clients can openly express their emotions and behaviors, gaining a deeper understanding of their triggers. This awareness is a crucial step in healing from anxiety, depression, and trauma. By identifying and addressing these underlying patterns, individuals can significantly reduce their symptoms and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. Not only as a therapist but also as someone who has personally applied these methods, I have experienced profound transformation. By looking inward and challenging my childhood programming, I was able to heal from the past and step into my true, authentic self.
I have worked with children and parents facing behavioral challenges at home and in school. I hold a Behavioral Specialist License (BSL) through the state of Pennsylvania. My experience includes working not only with children exhibiting behavioral difficulties but also with those on the autism spectrum. Parenting comes with its challenges, and no family is perfect. As a mother of four, I made my share of mistakes. I remember the pain of being judged and the whispers of others about me and my children. That experience shaped my belief in compassion over criticism—I do not pass judgment because no one else has walked your path. I also like to challenge parents to heal their past and parent from a love stance, not a fear-based stance. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where parents can openly discuss the struggles within their home. My approach to change is rooted in love rather than fear, empowering parents to recognize and address subconscious triggers that may reinforce certain patterns within the family dynamic. Through this awareness, lasting and meaningful transformation becomes possible.
Positive psychology is built on four fundamental approaches to therapy, emphasizing the pillars of loving and engaging relationships, a sense of purpose, optimism, and spiritual growth to cultivate authentic happiness. As part of this approach, individuals take a strengths assessment to identify their core strengths. Everyone possesses 24 inherent strengths that shape their identity and resilience, particularly during times of crisis. However, these strengths may sometimes come into conflict with specific life situations, creating challenges that require self-awareness and adaptation.
As a spiritualist, I incorporate a mind-body approach into therapy sessions, fostering holistic healing from the inside out. This approach empowers individuals to integrate their spirituality as a positive coping mechanism, promoting emotional and mental well-being.
