My ideal clients are ages 13 and up. I thoroughly enjoy working with pre-teens and teenagers, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The life-changing events associated with growing up in today's world are often stressful, and my purpose is to bring peace and clarity to those otherwise troubling moments.

I offer my clients a safe place to express their feelings without judgement. We work together to come up with a plan that best addresses their individual needs. Whether they would like to work through past trauma or assess why they feel stuck in a repetitive cycle, we will find ways to move towards a life of peace, fulfillment and authenticity. I have worked with adults, couples and teens, as well as parents and families, in areas of depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, trauma and other mental health struggles. I am EMDR trained and engage in ongoing education in a number of areas to facilitate my continued professional growth.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over forty years of experience as a teacher, school administrator, school counselor and a private practice clinician. I have approached all of these roles with a strong sense of compassion and empathy, knowing that in order to grow and move forward humans need a safe place to express themselves and tools to take care of themselves.

I have experience treating all ages with an in-depth approach, beginning with meeting you and working to understand the difficulties you are facing. I offer a space that fosters fuller experiencing and understanding of your inner emotional life, including feelings, thoughts, dreams and fantasies. In connection with me, your symptoms and problematic patterns can become understood in new ways, leading to emotional growth and a greater capacity to make meaningful changes in your life. I provide dynamic therapy in-office and by videoconference to people whose location or commitments make it difficult to attend in-person meetings.

I went into the field of psychology because I love helping people transform to the best version of themselves. We all need a safe place to understand ourselves and how we relate to others/self. I often say "We need to be Mindful of our Total-Well Being and that our minds and our bodies are an inter-connected systems. Where the mind goes, so does the man or woman in their actions and body states. We go to the physician for our physical health, so how much healthier would we be if we went to our psychologist for our mental health?" At heart, I am a holistic practitioner and love seeing my clients Thrive.

I work with young adults and adults who struggle with a variety of issues. Whether you are experiencing personal or interpersonal difficulties, sometimes you can find yourself caught in troublesome patterns of thinking and behaving. You become bogged down with distorted beliefs about yourself and the world, trapped in unfulfilling circumstances, relationships and careers, or fixated on the past. A wide range of problematic symptoms (from anxiety and depression to damaged self-esteem, emotional disorders and self-destructive behaviors) can impact your quality of life. You need help to feel positive, confident and hopeful.

ADHD Authority, Harvard Professor & Psychiatrist Dr. Ned Hallowell states, "If you have a chance to work with Kristin, don't think twice. I have referred clients to her and can tell you, she has magic. Not only does she have all the knowledge she needs, but she has the knack, the understanding & natural empathy of one who has been there, of one who really burns to make sure others do not suffer the way she did. This tenacious, loving guide is sent from heaven. Seek her out, trust her & give thanks you've found her."

Our health is precious, so when it becomes compromised, it is often unexpected, overwhelming, and can be terribly isolating. Whether an acute injury or a chronic health issue, restoring hope is of the utmost importance. It requires bravery, persistence, safety and honesty. I use a developmental and family systems approach that views change happening inside of the relationships we find ourselves in. Therapy is a collaborative process and I aim to empower people to better understand how they relate to themselves, others, and the environmental systems they interact with through a holistic biopsychosocial lens.

The vast majority people who seek therapy have, through no fault of their own, suffered loss and trauma which has caused very painful consequences for their lives. The best way to heal from those losses is to first have them accurately identified and then to be gradually helped to express one's thoughts and feelings about them to a supportive listener. With such support one's experiences are validated as real and one begins to recognize one's strength and courage under the most challenging of circumstances. The opportunity to speak the truth about the painful facts of one's life to a supportive therapist is what heals.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and older adults who are facing challenges related to eating disorders, poor relationships with food and exercise, and negative body image. I often work with people referred by their weight management physicians when mental health issues are getting in the way of their medical treatment. In addition to these specialties, I have extensive experience working with addiction, trauma, abuse, neglect, self-harm, adoption, and family conflict. I also frequently work with teens navigating sexuality and gender identity issues, anxiety, depression, and challenges with peers and family.

With genuine curiosity, empathy, and without judgment, I strive to provide a safe and open space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and ambitions. I believe that meaningful change takes place in the context of a collaborative relationship in which we work to alleviate symptoms and to understand their meaning in the context of your life. I have extensive experience working with people with anxiety, depression, trauma histories, people of all genders, those in all kinds of romantic relationships, creative people, academics, and those who wish to gain insight into their identities.

I believe "the right" therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy. Working collaboratively, the client and I create a safe and supportive environment in which the client may address issues and behaviors, explore difficult emotions, cope with life events, resolve conflict, and identify relational patterns. My passion lies in facilitating clients in their journey toward personal growth and self-discovery. My goal is to help others gain control of their lives and inner strength by better understanding the relationship between their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches work with adults through a Psychodynamic, Trauma- Informed lens. I view symptoms as expressions of unconscious conflicts and painful core beliefs that need to be compassionately understood and metabolized in order to achieve therapy goals. When we understand and learn to love ourselves, we gain access to choices about who we are and how we want to live that we never thought possible. It is an honor for me to accompany people on this journey.

Hello! Are you tired of suffering from emotional and/or physical pain? I can help you in a way that is truly unique and you can see results very quickly. Through my experience I have developed an innate ability to help clients step out of their comfort zone through examination of their external environment from different points of view. I understand that the cornerstone of change is assisting each client with breaking down the walls that surround them to find deeper meaning. My sessions focus on engagement and the therapeutic alliance which leads to effective change. I promise that you will begin noticing changes immediately.

Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? I help clients who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, high-achievement and anyone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted and feel like they aren't measuring up. Do you engage in critical self-talk, compare and despair, impossible expectations? I teach clients strategies that positively impact relationships, mood, stress, work, parenting, lifestyle, etc. Thoughts play an important role in how we perceive ourselves, others, and our environment. I aim to identify negative, inaccurate, self-limiting thoughts and replace them into limitless thinking patterns.

The clients I serve are often in a moment of transition and are unsure what the path forward looks like. They are seeking clarity, as well as relief from their symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Clients I enjoy working with understand that therapy extends beyond our scheduled time, and may include setting goals and practicing skills that grow reflection, insight and behavior change. I have seen that therapy and coaching can lead to greater self-understanding and a deeper, more dynamic framework for managing modern life and changing how we relate with ourselves and others.

If you are unhappy in your career, contemplating your next professional move, in the midst of a professional crisis, looking for some coaching, need a sounding board or a partner planning and navigating how to get from point A to point B, I can work with you to assess and improve your professional skills and help you discover your personal path to success. For the past 20 years, my clients have included executives, business owners, and mid-level managers who benefit from a psychologist who understands barriers to professional satisfaction, happiness and success.

Are you just f-ing tired? A car accident left you emotionally paralyzed. A medical trauma shook up your life. A recent break up has you questioning your worth. Maybe nothing tragic has happened at all, but every day you wake up it feels like you're living some existential nightmare. You want to feel worthy, energized, and engaged. I'll bet you'd even settle for feeling "normal." The thing is, I work best with the abnormal: the burnt out gifted kids, recovering perfectionists, queer folk, and generational healers. The way you exist in the world probably pisses someone off and I'm here to celebrate it.
