Hello, I'm Kristian! Therapist, Founder of Tru Healing Therapy, Millennial, & Mom!
My journey to becoming a therapist started with a passion for helping others and a desire to make a difference. I've always believed that no one should feel alone, and over the past decade, I’ve discovered my purpose in supporting meaningful connections and healing.
I know firsthand that life can be tough.
As a fellow millennial, I understand the pressure of juggling roles, managing expectations, and navigating a world full of social comparisons. The stress, overwhelm, and quest for balance are all too real. And as a mom, I’ve experienced the ups and downs of caring for a family while nurturing my own needs, learning the importance of compassion and resilience along the way.
It’s safe to say I run on coffee and a strong belief that a good laugh can change the entire day!
What sets me apart is my relatable, modern approach that blends personal insight with professional expertise. Therapy isn’t just a job for me—it’s a way to walk alongside you as you take on life’s challenges. I’m dedicated to making this process feel safe, empowering, and authentic, so you can open up, be yourself, and make progress in your own time.
I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. I’m here to support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, no matter where you are on your journey. Together, we’ll build a strong foundation that starts with self-acceptance and leads to healthier relationships with those around you.
As a therapist, I use:
Solution-Focused Therapy: To help you tap into your strengths and find quick, effective solutions.
Interpersonal Therapy: For navigating relationships and building emotional connections.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): To heal from past trauma and create a path toward resilience.
I'm here to provide both a listening ear and guidance to help you discover your inner strengths and solutions. Using a solution-focused and strength-based approach, I support clients in addressing trauma, cultivating positive mindsets, and nurturing strong, resilient relationships.
My goal is to walk beside you, offering guidance and listening with empathy, as you find ways to develop resilience, calm, and a positive mindset.
When you work with me, you’re not just a client—you’re someone I genuinely care about. Let’s discover your inner strength and create a vision for your life where you feel confident, balanced, and capable.
