About Kristina Virro

 Kristina Virro’s mission is to see the whole you.  As a therapist and holistic nutritionist, she looks at how the different parts of your life shape who you are, from your innermost beliefs about yourself to your eating and exercise habits.

She prioritizes being transparent, non-judgmental, and supportive, while also challenging some of the seemingly automatic beliefs and thoughts you may have that prevent you from meeting your goals. Kristina also prides herself on being open-minded and anti-oppressive in her work.

Models of therapy I am trained in and inspired by include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care.
