Hi there! Experiences from our past can lead to painful feelings and unhealthy patterns that we get "stuck" in. If you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or lost - having someone to support and challenge you can be helpful in getting "unstuck." My role as a therapist is to support, empower, challenge, and provide space for reflection for you to heal and connect with your authentic self. I value the relationships I build with my clients that allows for this challenging growth and empowerment to happen.
My approach focuses on the way your relationship with yourself and others impacts how you experience the world. Using an integration of techniques, my goal is to help you feel connected to and confident in your emotional and physical self. My specialty areas include anxiety, trauma, and identity-based concerns.
Finding the right fit in a therapist is so important! Whether you're just beginning therapy or are looking to return to a space of healing, my hope is that you feel seen and welcomed by me. If you are ready to schedule, or you would like to get a better feel for my therapy style, contact me for a brief consultation call!
Call or Kristina Peterson now for a free 15 minute consultation - (502) 373-6733
