About
I help professionals who are stuck in jobs they've outgrown, disconnected from their greatest gifts, to recognize and focus these gifts into a rewarding career that energizes and inspires them. I'm an expert in helping people overcome obstacles and become laser focused on their career goals. I'm certified to administer the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and can use this assessment along with many others to help match you to a career you love. I also have a Masters in Psychology and support clients to work through inner blocks and self-defeating patterns that are holding them back.
Additionally, I enjoy using my many years of experience with resumes and job search strategies to help you land the job.

I found Navigating Transitions on www.meetup.com. I was interested in attending the February event as I am a Georgia attorney specializing in bankruptcy and real estate law, but living in the Bay Area. Since I am not a licensed attorney in California, I was looking for alternative careers. Since I am still new to California, I was hoping to start establishing a network base. When I went to the Navigating Transitions meet-up, I was relieved that it was a small gathering so we could do more than a 2 minute pitch to each other. As an introvert, Kristina was great at helping everyone feel at ease. It turned out everyone was open about their concerns about transitioning into a different career. It was nice to hear other people had the same concerns that was running through my head. After discussing my background, Kristina said there was an attorney she wanted me to meet. Within two days, Kristina reached out to the attorney who then scheduled a networking meeting with me. Prior to the networking meeting, Kristina called me and gave me good advice on how to make the most of the meeting. I was excited that I was meeting another attorney! I was even more excited when the networking meeting eventually turned into a job opportunity! I have no one else but Kristina to thank for connecting me to my new career. I recommend attending the monthly meeting at least once. You never know who you'll meet, or how you'll meet your future employer!

With a good number of years experience marketing technology and services, I was eager to return to the field, but somewhat reserved about how a seasoned professional might "fit in" to the current marketplace.
Not only has working with Kristina has enabled me to see what career paths fit my personality profile; but more importantly, how to envision myself in a position that would really make me happy.
She has also helped me to restructure my presentation package and supplied me with valuable research tools to find potential meetings for informational interviews.
What I found most valuable, however, was her one-on-one time which really helped revive my confidence and set an action plan in motion.
I whole heartedly recommend Navigating Transitions for your Career Counseling requirements.

Kristina is a great listener. She is able to distill challenges into discreet steps in order to make progress. This process helped me identify what it is I really want in work and life. Kristina is able to balance planning logic with a personalized plan. I recommend her!

I asked Kristina for help with keeping my current job - avoiding patterns that have hurt me in the past. She's helped me see my way through to new ways of looking at things and solving problems as they arise, instead of trying (and failing) to bury them. I enjoy work more and am optimistic for my future.

Kristina helped me to define a path to achieve my career goal, showing me very useful tools and habits to keep myself prepare to get the job I wanted. She always created a safe and comfortable environment for our meetings and showed real interest in me and what was going on in my life. She’s great! Thanks to her guidance I was able to get a gob that put me in the path I want to be.
