Great to meet you!

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and feeling truly heard. It is when people feel truly heard that true healing begins. My name is Kris and I want my clients to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. I strive to create a safe space where you don't have to navigate feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or major life changes alone. I have been in the Social Work field for over 30 years, with a primary focus in therapy for the last seven years. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Focused Therapy and relationship-focused interventions, allowing me to tailor therapy to each individual client and their goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing, explore patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I believe there is no "on-size-fits-all" approach to therapy, so I tailor our work together to your individual needs, goals, and experiences.

What you can expect from me

I bring warmth, compassion, honesty, and a little bit of humor to my work. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to provide support, perspective, and evidence-based tools to help you better understand yourself and make changes that align with the life and relationships you want. It is a privilege to be trusted with someone's story. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling understood, empowered, and better equipped to handle life's challenges.
