Kristina Ferrari is a licensed professional counselor specializing in modern relationship therapy. She understands that when individuals first meet their partners, the connection often doesn't stem from a mutual ability to resolve problems. Instead, it is typically based on initial attraction—elements that generally have little to do with the skills required for productive conflict resolution. Kristina is aware that no one is taught how to engage in conflict effectively; it's not a subject offered in high school, though it certainly should be. Recognizing that we are not inherently equipped with these essential tools, she acknowledges the challenges posed by our biology, as our nervous systems are wired to detect potential threats. However, Kristina brings encouraging news: it is indeed possible to cultivate new ways of interacting and forming deeper connections. She guides her clients in turning towards their partners, even when instinct might suggest otherwise, helping them to view conflict as a pathway to intimacy and to develop a healthier relationship with disagreements. Although the journey may not always be straightforward, Kristina is committed to making the process accessible and supportive. With the availability of evening and weekend sessions via video or phone, her approach to relationship therapy has never been more convenient for those seeking help and connection.
