Life can feel unbearably heavy when you’re carrying trauma, chronic stress, or generational patterns that you never chose. You might feel exhausted, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. I believe you’re doing the best you can with the resources you’ve had — and therapy can give you the support, clarity, and tools you deserve. My telehealth practice offers a warm, real, non-judgmental space for adults of all ages in Kansas, Missouri, and Wisconsin who are ready to heal and reconnect with themselves.
I’m an attachment-focused, insight-oriented therapist using an IFS-informed, self-compassionate approach. I support adults navigating trauma, neurodivergence, and eating disorders. I believe your healing already lives within you, and together we’ll explore the parts that hold pain, protection, and resilience.
Healing can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I’d be honored to support you with care, steadiness, and compassion.

While my primary focus is working with clients with eating disorders and/or trauma, I have a broad range of experience and enjoy helping clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationship distress through a lens of radical self-compassion. Many of my clients report an improvement in self-esteem and self-confidence early on in treatment.

Kristin is a profoundly compassionate therapist. She can hold space for some of the most difficult experiences and emotions that trauma survivors go through. For those with eating disorders, trauma, and so much more, I cannot recommend Kristin enough.

I find Internal Family Systems Therapy and Attachment Based modalities are able to bring rapid relief for clients who are suffering immensely. When we can gain awareness of WHY we are doing things with radical self-compassion, we can shift our experience of the world.
