Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Kristine, and I am a Licensed Master's level Social Worker with experience working with women, children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I've spent most of my career working with young people with anxiety, and ADHD, as well as their caregivers. I also have experience with children with special needs and their siblings and caregivers.

My approach to therapy

After getting to know you and setting goals together, I tailor my approach to what works best for you. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, family therapy models, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, depending on what resonates for you and your family. These methods help identify patterns that get in the way of managing anxiety, ADHD, and everyday stress, build practical coping skills, and keep us focused on meaningful change. We work at a pace that feels right for you.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is really a conversation. I'll ask about what brought you to therapy, what you've tried, and what you're hoping to change. Whether you're coming in for a child dealing with ADHD or anxiety, or a family situation that feels stuck, you'll have space to ask questions. By the end we'll have the beginning of a plan, and most clients leave already feeling like things are in motion.
