About Me
Welcome! My name is Kristina and I am a Clinical Social Worker located in the Greater Boston area. I bring years of experience working in dynamic settings such as: managing shelters, working on addiction teams, working in primary are settings and providing clinical supervision to students and unlicensed clinicians. My approach is to be as unorthodox as possible, authentic and to bring humor and evolving language into my practice! You will catch me bringing the intersection of race, culture and identity into all aspects of my work! It is important that these ideologies are at the base of all therapy I perform. Thank you for stopping by!
