Hi there, I'm Kristy!
I specialize in culturally responsive therapy, trauma-informed care, and identity work, particularly for individuals navigating cultural expectations. I created the Nurturing Voice Approach, a healing-centered framework that helps clients reclaim their voice and emotional well-being through self-affirmation, narrative work, and empowerment.
My focus
I typically work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and acculturation stress. Many of my clients are first- or second-generation individuals seeking support in balancing cultural expectations with personal identity and growth.
My approach
My therapeutic approach blends narrative therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices. I honor each client's lived experience and cultural background, and I center warmth, emotional safety, and collaboration in our work. I help clients gently challenge limiting beliefs, build self-trust, and find clarity in their personal stories.
