As a psychiatric nurse practitioner board-certified, I have 20 years of work experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health care settings. My specialties include mood disorders, anxiety, psychotic disorders, depression and much more.

I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.

Are you constantly overthinking? Feeling lost after a traumatic experience? Struggling with unresolved grief—or grieving the loss of a beloved pet and feeling like no one truly understands? These kinds of challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn next. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, healing from the past, or simply seeking clarity about your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and self-discovery.

I help children, including very young children, learn the skills they need to handle intense emotions of frustration and anxiety. In the initial phases of therapy I focus on enhancing your relationship with your child through play and improved communication, and then in the second phase we will focus on decreasing meltdowns, tantrums and aggression. You will experience a strengthened bond with your child and feel more empowered and capable of handling challenging behaviors. By addressing your child’s emotional difficulties now, you prevent future mental health concerns and lower your child's risk of social and psychological difficulties in the future. I have been an Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2007 having spent most of my career in Child & Adolescent Outpatient Mental Health and Early Intervention.

Hi, I’m Kristin! My path to becoming a therapist began during my junior year of college, when I was working at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. There, I met a group of Social Work graduate students whose passion and genuine desire to help people deeply resonated with me. Their enthusiasm inspired me to pursue Social Work, and I've never looked back. Since then, I've become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting veterans, military service members and their families, women around maternal/pre/post partum challenges, and those experiencing grief, life transitions, and trauma. I’ve worked as both a clinician and a leader, which means I bring a balance of down‐to‐earth therapeutic support and strong clinical insight. I recently graduated from a doctoral program in Social Work and am thrilled to be teaching the next generation of Social Workers!
