About

Each of us is unique, and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in our lives when we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situation to help us find ways to make positive change and move through these trying times. My counseling style focuses on building strong relationships and empowering individuals to develop the skills needed to cope during challenging times, as well as in building self-esteem and gaining personal insight, to recognize one’s strengths, values, and resilience, and to start taking control and making positive changes in one’s life. In working with clients, I utilize a person-centered approach and incorporate an eclectic mix of solution-focused therapy and attachment theory with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral techniques (DBT), and integrate mindfulness and other creative art techniques.

My experience working in a variety of settings including public schools, college counseling centers, non-profit counseling agencies, and in-patient and out-patient mental health has allowed me to work with individuals who are managing, adjusting to, and living with disabilities, chronic health conditions, and/or recovering from substance use, as well as clients going through life transitions such as an end of a relationship, separation/divorce, changes in the family dynamic, going to college or a career change, or acculturating to a new country. In addition, I specialize in issues surrounding parents and mothers (e.g., pregnancy, miscarriage, post-partum concerns, single motherhood). I have experience working with athletes and people involved in the performing arts world. Additionally, I am an ally for LGBTQIA+ and welcome individuals looking for a safe place to explore their sexual orientation, gender expression, and/or identity.

I see children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes and transitions, relationships, and grief. Sessions take place in a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental tele-health atmosphere.

I look forward to meeting you and assisting you on your journey as we work together to relieve the challenges you face in life.

Kristina conducts her sessions via telehealth.

Frequently asked

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. I also have experience supporting individuals living with disabilities, chronic health conditions, substance use recovery, and major life changes such as divorce, career transitions, adjusting to college, or adapting to a new culture. Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and goals.
I believe every person has the capacity for growth and resilience. My counseling approach is person-centered, collaborative, and focused on helping you recognize your strengths while developing practical skills to navigate life's challenges. Depending on your needs, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, attachment-based principles, mindfulness, and creative therapeutic techniques. Together, we'll build strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.
Yes. I have a special interest in supporting parents and mothers through the many emotional changes that can accompany pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum adjustment, parenting, and single parenthood. These life experiences can bring both joy and significant stress, and therapy provides a supportive space to process emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence during each stage of the parenting journey.
Absolutely. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds and identities and strive to provide an inclusive, respectful, and affirming environment.
