I believe that our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change and growth. With the right perspective and proper non – judgmental support, difficult times can assist in the transition to build a stronger, more resilient you. I base all of what I do on compassion and acceptance.

If you are having a difficult time adjusting to a life change you weren't expecting; maybe an injury that has resulted in chronic pain and needing to modify the way you used to do things, a relationship change, adjusting to parenthood, or dealing with the effects of a pandemic, and would just like to feel "balanced," find joy in life again, sleep peacefully, and use healthy coping skills to maintain normal daily function, then consider allowing me to work with you to figure out how to work through and overcome some of your challenges and support a transition to a more positive mindset.

Have you ever felt like you were spinning out of control with fear, worry, and despair? Does it seem like you’re lost in sadness, hopelessness, and exhaustion? Are you overwhelmed with irritability, pain, and fear? Do you dread those endless thoughts that keep you awake at night or occupy your mind when you should be working, spending time with family and friends, or trying to relax? It's tiring, scary, and overwhelming to figure it out alone. In our counseling sessions, we can walk down a path together to help you find relief, hope, and a sense of calm in your life. I invite you to join me on your path for change.

My practice is dedicated to providing the highest quality,professionally competent psychotherapy to adults, couples & adolescents with compassion and respect for each client's humanity and individuality. I believe in a collaborative process where we work together to determine what approach will be utilized to give you the best opportunity to successfully address your concerns. I provide clients with information and education about a variety of treatment orientations for a wide range of problems or challenges. This allows you to actively participate in an informed manner in choosing an approach that we determine is likely to be the most beneficial.

I work exclusively with adults who live in FL and are looking for individual psychotherapy via telehealth. My clients tend to be professionals, entrepreneurs and young adults who are interested in finding work-life (or school-life) balance, having more meaningful interactions and fulfilling relationships with others, and adjusting to ongoing changes and/or life events (e.g., unexpected losses, cohabitation, marriage, death of a loved one, becoming a parent, among others). I also work with clients experiencing distress in one or more of their interpersonal relationships who want a safe space to explore feelings & think about options.

Are you leading the life you envisioned? A life with close relationships that help you thrive? Work and play that offer opportunities to contribute and create? I have helped individuals, couples and families resolve concerns to clear a path to greater personal ease and life fulfillment. It takes courage to start therapy and change occurs in increments. Initially, you may feel distress or uncertainty. I will work with your strengths and motivation to guide you to a place of greater peace and clarity. I've helped clients deal with many issues, especially major transitions, anxiety and loss.

When you think about your future, are you excited? Anxious? Terrified? All of the above, and more? It is normal to feel any combination of feelings when navigating life's many transitions. The future is yours and you get to create the path you want for yourself. Roadblocks from your past can be worked through and overcome. We can't stop life from having transitions, but we can learn to grow from whatever shows up on our path, and learn to love ourselves along the way. You deserve to live a life you enjoy and I'm here to help you figure out what this looks like and how to create it.

Hi there. My name is Kristie. Thanks for stopping your scroll for a second. You clearly have a whole lot of therapists and counselors to choose from here on Psychology Today. Picking someone you are going to bare your soul to based on 640 characters can be seriously overwhelming. I am definitely not a marketing guru and I don't have any punchy catchphrases. What I can tell you is I have been where you are and I know what it is like to struggle, feel alone or overwhelmed. And I know it is very possible to get to the other side of those feelings.

What is keeping you from a more satisfying and joyful life? Is it the overwhelming stress and anxiety that won’t seem to stop? Perhaps, it’s a deep sense of sadness, like something is just not right? Or maybe you are having difficulties with the relationships that matter the most to you? You have tried everything you can think of to feel better but sometimes it seems like your mind is working against you. You know it can be better than this you just don’t know how to get there or even where to start!

As a Holistic Psychotherapist & Coach I provide integrative therapy to heal the mind, body and Soul connection. I am passionate in helping to bring about healing and inner transformation for my clients. I utilize a holistic approach, as I believe that true healing involves more than just addressing our mind. In therapy, I can help you develop your inner strength to transform emotional responses and clear blocks that have kept you stuck. In your therapy session, you will be provided a supportive environment with the goal of bringing clarity, peace and connection to your mind, body and soul.

I believe that contact with a psychologist can be impactful in as little as one visit, and a variety of different strategies can be utilized once someone has begun developing insight. Often people are ready to make changes but can't get an appointment soon enough, or they aren't sure if they want to go to therapy but the process is intimidating and overwhelming. I created this teletherapy process to bridge that gap, to assist patients with discovering their needs while also giving the option to treat them with therapy virtually.

My therapeutic approach consists of a collaborative method to help you achieve specific goals that are important to you. My goal is to always meet you where you are. I take pride in my ability to make each client feel comfortable opening up to me when they are ready. I believe identifying and recognizing our feelings makes it easier to understand and alter our behaviors, leading us to healthier and happier lives!

As a psychologist in Clearwater for over 40 years, I bring experience, wisdom, and stability to the therapeutic process. I have been happily married for 48 years and personally know the importance of effective communication and compromise in relationships. I value your time. It is rare for someone to wait more than 10 minutes. With few exceptions, I will conclude the initial session with my impressions, and I will suggest a treatment plan focused on solutions. I am direct and action oriented with a focus on changing behavior and negative thoughts within a supportive relationship.

I work with people to help them reach their full potential. I can do this with telehealth or in person. My job is to help remove those barriers keeping you from becoming who you really are. That might simply be a change in your life you are having trouble making. Or that may be a mental health or physical issue you have. Because I'm both a psychotherapist AND Chiropractic Physician, I can address the physical components of things that are keeping you from being who you want to be too. Often the physical problems have psychological components and the psychological problems have physical components.

Now offering telehealth and in-office sessions. Do events from the past make it difficult to enjoy your life?

Do you feel like nothing will ever change? Maybe you feel that nothing can help. Not true! I have primarily evening and weekend appointments. Call me and we can work together to help you uncover the joy you have been seeking.

My specialty is working with couples in intimate relationships who feel their relationship is in distress. I can help when you're not talking, not communicating, not connecting anymore.

I can help if there has been an affair, that has been ended, and you want to find a way to rebuild trust and reconnect. I have a passion for this work and have the specific training and experience required to help you and your partner find connection and understanding again.
