Hi! I’m Kristin, a therapist and momma of two wild little boys. As parents, we hold these perfect, vulnerable creatures in our arms for the first time and vow to never let them feel an ounce of pain. But then they do. They have their own complex set of fears and worries and it’s terrifying not knowing how to help them. By even reading this and considering counseling for yourself or your kid, you’re making such a brave choice. We ALL need the support of the greater village to raise kind, well-adjusted kids.
Specialities include: Grief, anxiety, terminal illness, parent/child conflict, identity exploration, boundary setting, life transitions.
In sessions with me, I vow to never take myself too seriously and will invite you or your child to share your silliest parts too. Therapy should be a place of refuge, where you can come as you are and take a deep breath. A place where you can drop the mask the world demands of you. We will chat together, make art, set goals and delve deep.
