Have you been struggling to connect within your current relationships? Have you experienced significant anxiety and depression within social and work environments? Do you feel like your emotions overwhelm you? Sometimes building and maintaining relationships is challenging.

Each person’s story is unique based on their own life’s experiences. Difficult life challenges can make you feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed and “stuck”. Are negative thoughts and feelings causing you to doubt yourself, interfering with your ability to find solutions and move forward? Do you struggle with painful, past experiences resulting in trust issues, and fear of forming relationships with others? I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where I can help you learn new coping skills and develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. Connection through relationships is essential for a healthy happy life.

My personal journey has been marked by both joys and sorrows, by growth and healing. Enduring the unexpected loss of a parent, battling negative self-perceptions, enduring abusive relationships, being hurt and betrayed by the church, the highs and lows of parenthood and marriage- these experiences have all contributed to who I am today. Through the beauty and pain of my life experiences, I have discovered the transformative power of inner resilience and spiritual connection.

Hi There! I'm Kristin and I have served as a Therapist, School Counselor, Child Life Specialist and Parent Educator. I enjoy meeting my clients right where they are in their life journey, exploring how they arrived to that place and then setting goals to achieve through our time together. Upon request, I also provide Christian-Based/Biblical Counseling.

Therapy does not have to be a beatdown. Healing and growth can be demanding, exhausting, and have high stakes. Having support, a clear plan, and reliable evidence-based approaches adapted to your unique situation can sustain hope through the hardest times and bring changes that feel impossible within reach. You are the expert in your own life. Change is most meaningful and lasting when we are supported in discovering our own insights and solutions within the safety of compassionate relationships. My first goal is to help create a safe place for you to have a voice and access your natural capacity for healing.
