― Viktor E. Frankl
I'm Kristian! Therapist, Founder of Tru Healing Therapy, Millennial, Mom and coffee lover!
My journey to becoming a therapist started with a deep passion for helping others and a desire to make a real difference. With 12 years of experience in the field, I’ve learned the importance of being that person who offers hope, guidance, and support. I’ve always believed that no one should feel alone during their struggles. Over the years, I’ve realized that my purpose is not only to help others feel seen, heard, and supported, but also to help them discover their strengths, rediscover joy, and find direction in their lives. As a millennial, I understand the unique pressures of juggling multiple roles—mom, business owner, therapist, and wife. The challenge of balancing all of these can be overwhelming, but it’s also what drives me to be the best version of myself in each role I play.
I’m a big believer in self-care and finding moments of joy throughout our busy lives. It doesn’t always have to be something big—whether it’s enjoying a cup of iced coffee, scheduling a workout class to move your body, or taking intentional breaks throughout the busy day to relax and do something for yourself. It’s these small moments that recharge us. Taking care of ourselves is so important, and it’s through these moments that we can show up as the best versions of ourselves, not only in our own lives but also in the roles we play and the relationships we have with others..
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 understood and is free from judgement. 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
Asa 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.
Attachment-Based Therapy: To work through relationship challenges and build secure, healthy connections.
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.
If you’re ready to release anxiety, self-doubt, heal, and find your true purpose, let’s work together. I look forward to helping you create the life you deserve—feel free to bring your favorite beverage, and let’s dive into this journey!
