Kristina is a CBT influenced psychotherapist and a coach. She is passionate about helping clients achieve results. Working with her is a collaborative hands on process. Together we identify what success will look like for you and work on creating your individualized plan. CBT is an evidence-based practice that effects change by teaching clients to modify dysfunctional thought patterns. Through understanding the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and actions, we start to develop action steps to address the underlying assumptions and core beliefs. Since experience is key, some exercises/ homework is given between sessions.
