Online Anxiety Therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area
and Across California
Helping you from overwhelmed to
grounded, supported, and like yourself again.
Maybe you were searching for anxiety therapy.
Or maybe, late at night, you found yourself Googling:
“Why can’t I turn my brain off at night?”
“Why am I snapping at the people I love?”
“Why do I feel so overwhelmed when everything is fine?”
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
You may be the person others rely on—the one who keeps things moving, holds it together, and carries a lot well.
But that doesn’t mean you’re meant to carry it alone.
You’re in the right place.
You may be “functioning well” on the outside:
showing up at work, caring for your family, managing responsibilities, and doing what needs to get done.
But inside, things feel messy and hard.
→ Your mind feels constantly “on,” making it hard to rest, relax, or turn off anxious thoughts at night.
→ You find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying excessively, or feeling overwhelmed by things that used to feel manageable.
→ You feel more irritable than usual, snap at the people you love, or struggle with anxiety in relationships or parenting.
→ Relationship stress or resentment may be building as you carry more emotional labor than feels sustainable.
→ Motherhood, burnout, or chronic stress may have left you feeling emotionally stretched thin, touched out, or unlike yourself.
→ From the outside, your life may look fine—even successful.
→ But inside, you may feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, and tired of carrying so much alone.
I provide therapy for high-achieving women and mothers navigating anxiety, overwhelm, relationship stress, motherhood, and identity shifts using Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and deeper trauma-informed work that helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—not just manage symptoms.
Working with me and using IFS therapy, clients feel more grounded, more connected to themselves, and more equipped to navigate life’s stress and heal past traumas with clarity and self-compassion.
My name is Kristina
Whether it’s a need for self-care or a turning point in life, I can help
What I hear from clients:
"I finally feel like I understand why I keep doing this and for the first time, I actually have compassion for myself."
“I came in thinking I needed to fix my anxiety. I left understanding why it was there in the first place."
"The rage is more settled and I’m not as reactive as I used to be. Not because I'm suppressing it but because the part of me that was raging finally got to be heard."

Specializing in working with
-
Emotions are your body’s way of trying to protect you - signaling when something feels unsafe or unresolved. And sadly women have been trained to disconnect from their bodies and needs.
In IFS therapy, we don’t try to get rid of your emotions—we listen to it.
You feelings are not the problem; they are signals from a part of you that still carries so much.
Together, we help that part heal, so your stress, anxiety, anger, and overwhelm can soften, step back, and trust you to lead - calm, steady, and clear. -
Parenting is one of the hardest things we do - at any stage.
Parenting may also be challenging for women who have had to be hyper-independent, high achieving, or maybe didn’t have the best experience with their parents.
Whether you’re becoming a parent, raising little ones, navigating the teen years, or supporting adult children, it brings up everything: love, fear, exhaustion, and often, the times of how we were parented ourselves.IFS therapy supports you as you parent your children while gently reparenting the parts of you that didn’t get what they needed.
With this work, you can bring more grace, compassion, and joy into your parenting and be more present for the moments that matter most. -
Therapy is a healing process—but true healing goes beyond the mind.
It includes the body, the nervous system, and the energy we carry through life and work.
Whether you're a psychotherapist, physical or occupational therapist, doctor, or nurse—you hold space for others. And that takes a toll.
IFS therapy offers a place for healers to rest, release, and reconnect with themselves. So you can return to your work with more clarity, presence, and vitality.
