Hi there, I'm Kristin!

I find great fulfillment in supporting individuals through their challenges and facilitating meaningful personal growth. Helping clients develop insight, resilience, and coping strategies in a safe and empathetic environment is both professionally rewarding and deeply impactful.

My focus

I work primarily with adults facing relationship challenges, family dynamics, and life transitions such as divorce, separation, or when children leave home. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, communication issues, conflict resolution, and struggles related to substance use.

My approach

I specialize in Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, two powerful approaches rooted in empathy, respect, and the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth. Together, we explore and reframe the stories you tell about yourself, helping you regain a sense of control and agency over your life.
