Kristina believes that in regard to mental health, or health in general, superior outcomes are achieved by taking into account the whole person and the whole picture. In order to put a puzzle together we need every piece. Kristina understands the important foundation of utilizing general psychiatric approaches with the added benefit of integrative ones. When utilizing this all encompassing approach, it provides a higher level of positive outcomes. All aspects of our lives should be addressed as they all can interfere positively or negatively, this includes social, psychological and biological. Very important aspects that will be covered during visits include lifestyle, sleep, stress, exercise, nutrition, work/career, home-life/relationships/social status, overall health, lastly psychotherapy and individualized medication regimens if needed. All of these combined need to be in balance to promote mental well-being.

Kristina’s philosophy is the belief in meeting people where they are. Her goal is simple, to provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where you truly feel heard, supported and empowered. She deep dives to help find the root cause and not just cover with a temporary band-aid. Everyone is unique and should be treated with individuality.
