I'm a trauma-informed therapist who brings both professional training and lived experience into the room.

My own healing shapes how I understand trauma: personal, relational, generational, and historical, and the way it touches emotional well-being, self-worth, and identity. Together, we'll explore how past experiences show up in your life today and work on the root causes of your pain instead of only managing symptoms.

Therapy with me is safe, collaborative, and empowering. I meet you where you are, respect your pace, and build on the strengths you already have, with empathy, curiosity, and respect. If you're ready to take a step, I offer a free 15-minute consultation and will listen without judgment.

Questions

Before your first session

Do you take my insurance?

Kristina is in-network with Aetna, Ambetter, Anthem, BlueCross BlueShield, Carelon Behavioral Health, Cigna / Evernorth, Curative, Health Net, and MultiPlan. Add your carrier on the form and benefits will be verified before your first visit.

Self-pay sessions are $120, and a sliding scale is available for those who qualify.

What is the free consultation?

It's a 15-minute phone call to talk about what's bringing you in, ask questions, and see whether working together feels right. There's no cost and no obligation.

If Kristina isn't the best fit for what you need, she'll help point you toward someone who is.

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based trauma therapy that uses guided eye movements to help reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories. Many clients notice change in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy, and you don't have to describe every detail of what happened out loud.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. Video sessions are available to adults located in Alabama at the time of the appointment, through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. In-person sessions are held in Huntsville.

What happens in the first session?

Kristina will ask about what brings you in, your history, and your goals. It's a conversation, and you set the pace. You'll leave with a sense of how therapy can help and what working together will look like.

Do you work with addiction and trauma together?

Yes. Substance use and trauma are often connected, and Kristina treats them together, including dual diagnosis. The focus is on understanding what the substance has been doing for you while building safer ways to cope.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations and no-shows are billed at $__. Insurance does not cover this fee.
