About Kristina
She works in a trauma-informed, collaborative way. Sessions include talking through painful memories, recognizing patterns tied to attachment and abandonment, and building tools for daily life. She frames progress as small, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Kristina has seven years of clinical experience. That background includes helping people who struggle with relapse, co-occurring disorders, and long-term effects of childhood or adult trauma. She also has experience supporting first responders, veterans, and people in high-stress jobs.
Her methods draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Kristina uses approaches that help process traumatic memories, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop new coping skills. Work together typically moves between processing past events and practicing concrete strategies for the present.
Her goal is to help people find steadiness after loss, trauma, or major life change. People who want help with mood, attachment wounds, guilt, or post-traumatic stress can expect practical steps, steady support, and a focus on what helps in everyday life.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people process difficult experiences and build coping skills. One approach she often uses is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Another common method is somatic-based work, which focuses on how the body holds stress and trauma and offers grounding practices and body-centered exercises to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kristina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as trust grows and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in during breaks or between obligations. It can also allow for shorter touch-base meetings when a quick update is helpful or for using audio-only sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match practical needs while focusing on steady, forward progress.
