About Kristina

     I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (LCSW) and Ohio (LISW), who enjoys working with adolescents, adults, couples and those who identify as athletes. I am passionate about wellness and providing a non judgemental and safe space for individuals. Born in Los Angeles, my love for gaining different experiences led her to attend school at The University of  Kentucky, in Lexington Ky, where she received both her undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology with a minor in Spanish, and a Masters in Social Work. 

     I have an enormous compassion for athletes and individuals who are going through life's challenges and transitions, depression, anxiety and a host of other issues.  I feel privileged to work with those who are seeking support. I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honesty, caring without judgment, , and I cooperatively assist my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. 

     As a therapist, I am invested in emphasizing a more integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to mental health. I am trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT),and  Brainspotting. I utilize these modalities along with other methods to serve clients. I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I consider myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to therapy.
