Hope is seeing a glimmer of light, even when you feel surrounded by darkness. It is the courage to take one more step, even when you feel weighed down. Finding hope is difficult and it is often considered life’s biggest question. Without it, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious; however, when you choose yourself, you are choosing hope. Consider counseling as the first step in your journey.

Kristina’s approach to counseling is integrative, meaning that she utilizes a variety of methods to fit your needs. She firmly believes that you are the expert of your own experience, and that sharing your experiences can sometimes be painful. Kristina strives to create a safe space for you to process these events and grow into your best possible self.

A phrase we hear often is “progress, not perfection.” The truth is that it’s easy to become caught up in a “quick fix”; however, the road to hope can take time and it can be filled with many ups and downs. As you get to know one Kristina, and she gets to know you, you will find that your time spent together fosters not only a hopeful future, but a path toward acceptance and growth. You can find comfort in knowing that, through patience and understanding, Kristina will be next to you as you find hope, build resilience, and achieve your therapeutic goals.
