Hi, I'm Kristina.
Do you feel pulled in multiple different directions all at once and struggle to fit everything in? Do you find yourself struggling to keep up with all the different areas of your life, relationships, work, health? Is it hard to give yourself the grace you easily extend to others? Do you feel like you are not the author of your own story and other things or people are writing your narrative?
I help people manage anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, and ADHD. Together we can identify the things which are not working for you and get your balance back so you are back in control of writing your story. We will use a whole self approach to address the needs of not just your mind, but your body and spirit. I integrate mindfulness and yoga to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
I am here to help you empower yourself and take control of the direction of your story. While seeking therapy can be scary, you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal, learn, and grow. In our sessions, I will meet you with compassion, genuineness, and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the thoughts and habits which are holding you back. Let's work together to help you be your best possible self!
