About
Kristina
Kristina values helping her clients live engaged and meaningful lives. She brings her personality and sense of humor to sessions, and works with her clients to build a trusting and warm therapeutic relationship. She approaches therapy from a feminist-multicultural lens, meaning she considers the influences of the systems we are a part of on mental health and well being.
In her free time, Kristina chases after her wild toddler, delights in a good cup of tea, basks in the beauty of nature, practices yoga and meditation, and enjoys a mellow surf session.
