Welcome, I'm Kristine and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adults, couples, and individuals navigating life's challenges. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported while developing practical tools to create meaningful change.
My clinical approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and relationship-focused interventions. I also have Gottman Method Training at levels 1 and 2, and treating affairs and trauma, which informs my work with couples and relationship concerns. I help clients better understand patterns that may be affecting their emotions, relationships, and overall well-being, while building skills to communicate more effectively and respond to challenges in healthier ways. I have also received Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certified training, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) training, and GriefShare certification.
I work with clients experiencing a range of concerns, including:
>Anxiety and stress
>Depression and mood-related concerns
>Life transitions and adjustment
>Relationship and communication difficulties >Couples counseling
>Self-esteem and confidence
>Emotional regulation and coping skills
>Work-related stress and burnout
>Family and interpersonal concerns
>Mindfulness and developing greater awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
My goal is not to tell you what you should do, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and make choices that are consistent with the life and relationships you want to build. I look forward to getting to know you and working together toward your goals.
