Hi there, I'm Kirstina! Starting therapy is a courageous step, and I’m here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change. I work with individuals, children, and families experiencing a wide range of challenges—including trauma, grief, life transitions, and relational stress. This includes support through foster care, adoption, divorce, separation, and post-decree concerns. My approach is strengths-based, creative, and collaborative—centered on your goals, your story, and what healing looks like for you. Whenever you're ready, I welcome you to reach out and begin this journey toward greater connection, resilience.
I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership where you are the expert in defining what success looks like for you. Together, we’ll set meaningful, client-centered goals tailored to your unique needs and priorities. As you grow and gain new insights, your goals may evolve—and that’s a natural part of the process. I feel honored to walk alongside you.
I offer a warm, genuine, and down-to-earth communication style to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where your story is truly honored. I listen deeply with empathy and offer thoughtful, practical feedback to support your reflection and growth. Throughout our work together, you can expect mutual respect, compassion, openness, and a steady.
