KR joins Summit with years of experience working within a variety clinical settings. She values creating a safe and collaborative counseling space for her clients. In this space, her clients often feel a secure, supported, and safely challenged to explore old patterns and open up to new possibilities.
KR is a natural advocate who is interested in the ways we learn to exist within communities. Whether that be social communities, peer communities, family systems, or more. Her clients learn to understand the unspoken “rules” of these communities and how they positively, negatively, or neutrally impact them.
KR works hard to help her clients learn to recognize internalized rules, self-talk, and distressful emotions that keep them stuck. Her clients learn to become self-advocates who understand themselves as complex individuals navigating a complex world.
KR works with adolescents and adults. She is experienced helping clients navigate:
-Depression
-Anxiety/OCD/Panic
-Life transitions
-Family of origin conflict
-Trauma
She is particularly experienced and passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ adolescents and adults.
Get To Know Kristina
I love people. I enjoy getting to be involved in the smallest concerns from making decisions, emotional struggles, to fears and sadness. I am honored to be invited into the smallest details to the major changes of someone’s life. I love the process of growth and the honor of being part of someone’s journey.
People should try counseling because life is easier if you are not alone. Counseling provides an opportunity for connection that is a special relationship and is unlike any other in our daily life.
I hope my client’s feel how much I care about their concerns. I want them to feel that I see them and hear them and they matter.
I feel excited when I can see clients are feeling heard and connections are being made.
I hope that client’s learn to trust and validate themselves.
I am an introvert who loves people. I love to talk but I love to listen more. I love to connect and walk with others through difficult times.
