(she/her)
Hi, my name is Kristina. I love to help people overcome obstacles in their lives, including but not limited to relationship problems, anxiety, low moods, work burnout, major life transitions, or self-esteem issues. I use a Person-Centered approach to therapy and apply evidence-based practices such as CBT and Solution Focused. I facilitate a therapeutic space of non-judgment and curious exploration, to foster self-discovery and deep healing from trauma and adverse experiences.
The first session is an assessment where I get to know your biopsychosocial history and current presentation problems and confirm if I am the right level of care for you. From there we will collaborate to create measurable treatment goals that will guide your therapy progress. This first session is also an opportunity for you to ask me questions about my treatment modality, set up follow up appointments, and review consents.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I strive to empower clients to overcome feelings of shame, alienation, and inadequacy. I strive evoke teach self-compassion and self-love to combat internalized anger and self-sabotage.
Adults 18 and up. Depression and Anxiety. Self esteem, OCD, mood dysregulation, stress management, grief and loss, trauma, parenting issues, and sexuality issues.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person centered therapy is the foundation that I structure therapy on because it honors and respects the client's experience and self-determination. It cultivates a meaningful therapeutic alliance between counselor and client that creates a safe space for healing to occur.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT when indicated with psychoeducation on cognitive distortions, and skills training.

She listens very very well! She helps me talk through my problems and anxiety issues and just her authenticity and being open-minded with her communications makes me feel better after each session. No one minus my wife has really every listened to me and lets me talk about things that are troubling me and Kristina makes me feel comfortable enough to express my thoughts and experiences genuinely. Thank you!

I feel she listens well. She tries to gently ask the questions that make you think. It seems to be going good so far, first month in therapy.
