You took the hardest step today; your healing journey can begin. My name is Kristina (Tina), and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). What being a LCSW means to me is that I am a helper. The space I hold for you is individualized to acknowledge you, support you, and encourage you to be your greatest advocate. For trauma, my focus is in helping clients work through the impact trauma has had on their lives. Trauma effects multiple aspects of life: can’t trust or are over-trusting, feelings are too big or too little, sometimes things are just really hard. Your trauma is unique to you deserving a path to healing. ADHD can feel like a rollercoaster of things to do, disorganization, poor time management, feelings all over the place. There is so much more to ADHD than meets the eye. We can learn together what your ADHD is to you. Anxiety can feel like you’re always vibrating on the inside, body and mind feels chaotic. Let’s find out ways to ground, be mindful, breathe. I am accepting new clients. Please contact me directly for help with scheduling. I look forward to working with you.

Marriage therapy, couples and individual counseling is my forte. Relationships require work to grow. Several factors, both internal and external to the relationship, may contribute to difficulties and stress between couples. Becoming new parents, infidelity, sexual dissatisfaction, and money problems are common triggers of a shift or tension between partners. Sometimes, untreated individual disorders such as anxiety, anger management, or depression can cause or increase stress and strain on a relationship. Couples counseling is a type of psychotherapy that helps those involved in a romantic relationship gain insight into their interactions, identify negative communication styles, resolve conflict, and find strategies and tools to improve and strengthen the relationship. No matter your age, marital status, or sexual orientation, I will tailor treatment to the needs of each unique couple. I pride myself in valuing culture, race, religion, and gender as key components of identity within couples counseling.

My ideal client is one who is suffering from the pain of divorce , a failed interpersonal relationship or a chronic illness. If you have a chronic or recurring illness that leaves you feeling like a foreigner in your own body , or if you do not feel filled up with life, I am here to help. I can help you to manage and overcome difficult emotional periods in your life so you can feel better and in control. This is done through the development of a confidential therapeutic relationship that is supportive and encouraging.
