Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Kristin, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping clients navigate life's daily challenges including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, and grief. You deserve a space to breathe, be honest, and feel truly seen. My values are centered on building a solid and trusting relationship with you, which usually includes a bit of humor!

My approach to therapy

My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. We will work together to create your path towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. I believe in meeting you where you are to uncover strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop practical tools for growth and resilience.

What you can expect from me

Therapy is a space where you can be fully yourself-- without judgement-- and explore what is working, what isn't, and what you would like to change. I use a blend of evidence-based approaches including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness to support you in working towards your goals.
