“I’ve been a client of Kristina’s for years and can honestly say the work I’ve done with her has been transformative. She has given me so many tools and strategies to recognize my own strength and overcome the many obstacles I’ve encountered in my life as a busy, working, single mom. She combines the latest evidence with holistic modalities. If you’re looking for someone to coddle a victim-mentality, she’s not the one for you! Kristina has empowered me to be the strongest version of myself and has taught me how to attract abundance into my life. She’s incredibly accessible and has always been there for me both during and in-between sessions as a key motivator for my mental, physical, and spiritual successes. I’ve worked with her both via telehealth and in person. Limitless is such a cozy, welcoming, serene space that I love coming to; but she also has the added accessibility of offering video and phone sessions for the busy working person. If you’re looking to grab your life back by the reigns and access your true potential, I highly recommend working with Kristina through Root & Rise!”

“My partner and I worked with Kristina for couples therapy, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From day one, she made both of us feel completely heard and understood. She has this amazing ability to stay neutral while still deeply caring about both people in the room — you never feel judged or “ganged up on.” What really stood out to me is how she helps you see things from your partner’s perspective without pushing you in any direction. She’s great at helping you slow down, communicate clearly, and actually listen to each other. Over time, we started to understand not just what we were arguing about, but why — and that changed everything. Kristina also helped us each work on our individual patterns, which made a huge difference in how we show up in the relationship. It never felt one-sided; she truly sees therapy as a team effort, and that approach made it incredibly effective for us. We’re in a much better place now, both as a couple and as individuals, and I’m so grateful for Kristina’s guidance. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is genuine, insightful, and really knows how to help people reconnect.”

“Working with Root and Rise Counseling has been such an incredible opportunity.
