My approach to therapy

Kristina uses a combination of methods for a more person-centered, attachment-based, solution-focused, and holistic therapy modalities. She creates a comfortable, judgement-free, safe space for people to be open, honest, kind, and more compassionate with themselves. Moreover, her interest lies in understanding the mind-body-spirit connection. Therefore, she regularly utilizes mindfulness exercises and positive psychology techniques.

By creating a warm, trusting and welcoming environment, Kristina is dedicated to providing a space for her clients to build and improve their self-esteem, correct emotional regulation difficulties, and promote better self-awareness. She helps her clients strengthen and nourish their relationships, recognize personal values and goals, and align themselves and their actions with these values.
