Only accepting California clients at this time - Anxiety isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your body and relationships, too. You’ve been living with that constant hum of anxiety—racing thoughts, restless nights, and tension that never quite lets go. On the outside, you’re doing all the things, but inside you’re tired of overthinking, overgiving, and feeling like it’s never enough. It shows up in your work, your relationships, even in your body. What you’re really looking for is relief: a calmer mind, a steadier nervous system, and the freedom to show up in your life with more clarity, confidence,
Working with me is steady and deeply respectful. Through IFS therapy, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, and a body-aware approach, I offer a safe space to slow down, listen to your experiences, heal, and shift patterns. Here, you’ll feel supported to ease anxiety, release old patterns, and create lasting calm and clarity in your life.
I’m Kristina, a Level 2 IFS therapist specializing in therapy for women, mothers, and clinicians (any gender) navigating anxiety and overwhelm. My compassionate and somatic approach helps you feel relief and lasting change. Let’s connect—schedule your free consultation today.
