PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER & THERAPIST BASED IN DAVIDSON, ONLINE ACROSS NC, CT, VT, NH, & MA
Actually heal from what’s holding you back. Finally feel like yourself again.
A trauma-informed, integrative approach to medication management & therapy.
You’re here because…
You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but you still seem to struggle more than the people around you.
Though you’ve managed to meet expectations socially and in your career, there’s not a lot of balance in your life. You work really hard to keep all the plates spinning in spite of your internal struggles, but don’t get to slow down and enjoy yourself very often. What’s most frustrating is that on top of trying yoga, meditation, and journaling, you’ve probably also already tried therapy or medication, and yet still find yourself stuck in this rut.
You might worry that something is “wrong” with you, or that you’ll continue to feel this way forever, but are willing to try something new if it could lead to a future where you actually feel better.
This is where deep, holistic, and integrative mental healthcare comes in.
My approach goes beyond prescribing medication after a 10-minute conversation or doing traditional talk therapy. It involves looking at how things like nutrition, movement, and your environment influence your mental health. It also involves understanding how past experiences have shaped your nervous system and personality, and how we can reshape them to give you a better quality of life. We’ll take your whole self—mind, body, and everything in between—into account to support deeper healing and growth.
HI, I’M KRISTINA.
I want to help you reignite the light within.
When we work together, it’s all about understanding you. I’ll take the time to explain how your body and mind work together, what to expect from treatment, and how different options like medication, supplements, therapy, or lifestyle changes might help you feel better. Your input guides everything we do, and I’m here to adapt as your needs change. I’m deeply curious about what’s going on for you and committed to figuring it out, step by step. Together, we’ll explore ways to help you feel more in control, at ease, and empowered to create the life you want to live—because you deserve more than “just getting by.”
My specialties
I work with adults who want to understand how their biology, life experiences, and mental health are connected in order to make changes that align with their authentic selves.

Together, we can explore options personalized to your needs, figure out what’s working and what isn’t, and how medication—alongside integrative elements like supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes—can support you. I’ll listen with compassion to your experiences and concerns, answer any questions you have, and create a treatment plan that can lead to the relief you’re seeking.

When life feels overwhelming—like there’s too much to do and never enough time or energy—it can be hard to figure out how to push forward. If you’re on edge or burnt out and tired of living like this, you’re not alone in feeling this way. There are many avenues we can take to help you find more calm and motivation in your day-to-day. We’ll work together to find treatments that ease the weight you’re carrying and help you reconnect with the life you want.

Sometimes it can feel like different parts of you are pulling you in opposite directions—one part wants to rest, but another says you should be doing more. With IFS, we explore these inner drives and uncover how they've been shaping your experience in life. It’s a gentle and creative process that helps you understand yourself on a deeper level, develop genuine self-compassion, and experience healing that’s long-lasting. Whether you’re curious about your inner world, working through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or something else—or are just ready for a different kind of therapy—IFS can help you connect with every part of yourself.
