Hi there, I'm Kristina!

I am an LCSW | Therapist at Rula! Helping you navigate life’s transitions & find balance. In Nashville, TN, I'm Kristina (you can even call me Krissy). Taking the step to begin therapy is meaningful. If you’re ready to explore, reflect, and grow, I’d be honored to work with you.

My focus

I specialize in supporting those who often feel "unseen" or misunderstood by traditional therapy. This includes men, couples, and others navigating burnout. I am also deeply passionate about working with neurodivergent adults and those healing from trauma or abuse. If you’ve felt "too much" or "not enough" for other spaces, you’ll find a home here.

My approach

Therapy with me is collaborative, exploratory, and deeply human. I draw from evidence-based approaches using strength-based psychology and grounding practices to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and inner world. I tailor our work to you—there’s no one-size-fits-all here.
