My Name is Kristina and I am passionate about helping my clients lead their best lives. I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with clients with trauma, eating disorders, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

Partner 1: “I reach for you, but it feels like you’re already gone.” I’m left wondering if I matter to you at all.” Partner 2: “When you come close, I feel the pressure to be perfect, so I pull back to protect us both.” These unspoken messages leave couples lonely and stuck. I help break this anxious–avoidant cycle so partners feel safe, seen, and deeply connected again.

“I don’t understand why I want closeness so badly, yet feel disappointed when I have it. Why do I feel lonelier than others, even when I’m not alone?” Or: “I care deeply, but people say I’m distant or hard to read. When emotions get intense, I shut down—not because I don’t feel, but because it feels like too much.”

These quiet tensions live beneath awareness for many people. Longing and self-protection pull in opposite directions. Needs feel confusing, emotions feel overwhelming or unsafe, and core beliefs quietly form—I’m too much, I’m not enough, connection costs me something.

I help people loosen these patterns, reconcile the Self with more truthful and adaptive beliefs, and move toward self-acceptance and interdependence—where connection no longer threatens safety, but deepens it.

After nine years serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, I realized my deepest fulfillment came not from fixing systems, but from walking with people. Leaving the military was not a departure from service—it was a continuation of it. I pursued social work and theological training to better support people in their most important relationships. Today, my practice is devoted to couples counseling and trauma-informed care. Drawing primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR, I help couples slow conflict, understand what drives disconnection, and emotional safety. As a veteran and seminary-trained therapist, I bring structure, compassion, and steady hope—meeting clients with respect, grace, and a belief in lasting change.

I have worked with a variety of issues within the Mental Health field for over 10 years, mainly working with teenagers and adults. I have found that the best client is someone who is ready to work, even when it can be difficult. Change can be terrifying, but feeling "stuck" isn't fun either. I want to be able to provide resources for you that you can continue to use, even outside of therapy and become the best version of yourself.

You are feeling like you have lost control over your life. You look around and it seems like all your choices are being made for you and when you try to go after what you want, you feel defeated before you can even take the first step.

It does not have to be this way. In my role as a therapist, I believe it is my job to clear the fog that clouds the path that you want to be on. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own life. We become better at navigating our lives when we learn accurate information, remove the judgment that comes with other people's attempts to control our life, and take a clear look at potential outcomes (both good and bad) of our choices.

My passion is to empower and not dictate. It is my honor to listen and not judge. It is a privilege to explore with you wherever you want to go, whether into the past or looking into the future, and watch each person discover their own strengths and build the life that they want to live while breaking down the barriers inside that hold us back.

I am passionate about helping you discover the best you. I have been in practice for 20+ yrs. My experience covers ADHD, anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance abuse disorders. I view my role as being a partner with you on your journey to greater health and quality of life.

I discovered my mission when I realized how powerful and beautiful love is. I got my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Health Administration at Florida Atlantic University and proceeded to receive my Master's degree at the University of Central Florida in Marriage, Couples, and Family counseling. My mission is helping others to rediscover who they are and teach them to be secure within themselves so that they can be secure in the relationships they have with others.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, going through a life transition, struggling to cope with life on "life's" terms, or hoping to improve your relationship? I have over a decade of professional counseling experience helping individuals, couples, and families with relationship issues, anxiety, as well as depression. I believe you are the expert in your life and relationships and I am here to collaborate, encourage and empower you to meet the goals you set for yourself.

My name is Oscar DeBardeleben, and I know firsthand that change is possible because I’ve lived it. As an Army veteran, I have faced the kind of life challenges that can feel insurmountable—but seeking therapy was the turning point that allowed me to reclaim my life. Today, I combine that personal resilience with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Social Work background to help others find their way back. Having served diverse communities within the VA and Indian Health Service, I am dedicated to helping you navigate your own path toward a stronger, more confident self.
