Chances are that you have come here looking for someone to support you and your family through the rockier parts of life. Kristi is a well-trained, committed professional who specializes in working with children and their families to regain balance at home and school. She believes that, as humans, we all come to a place where we need someone understanding and compassionate that can provide guidance. Sometimes a professional with knowledge and experience in child development, attachment difficulties and the importance of play is just what you need. That's where Kristi and the staff at Journey Within can help!
Kristi says, "I started out working with kids when I was in my Master's Program and my passion for helping young people hasn't changed. Many children and their families are struggling to deal with life's challenges. I have worked with clients in a variety of treatment settings, including inpatient/residential, outpatient and home-based."
Children communicate through play, art and storytelling. Kristi uses these mediums in therapy to assist kids of all ages to more fully express themselves. Kristi has expertise in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and is an LGBTQ+ Ally. Shoot us an email to have your questions answered or check out our website for more information.

Much of the work that children do with Kristi is based in Child-Centered Play Therapy. As the child becomes more able to manage big emotions and express themselves verbally, the parent(s) will be given tools to increase connection in the child-parent relationship.

A majority of my interventions are rooted in relational psychology and integrate the principals of attachment theory. Child Centered Play Therapy is my primary treatment modality, especially for those clients 12 and under. Sometimes teens are more comfortable engaging in a hybrid of play therapy and CBT, with a focus on patterns in relationships.
