About me

I am a Jungian Certificated Psychotherapist. You will hear the language of Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus and Individuation. Depth Psychology is interested in all ages. All Peoples. All Understandings. "How does it work?" people ask. By making the Unconscious, Conscious. Therapist and patient become curious together, about your life. Psychotherapy is the inner journey towards understanding ourselves. Your journey. By making conscious our unconscious (often complicated) feelings, we project them less onto the world and less onto others. This process, brings self acceptance and peace to the soul. I look forward to sitting with you.

Many events in life bring us into therapy. Loss, Transitions, Trauma, Stressors, our Health. We come to a crossroads, not knowing which way is the right way. In Depth Psychology we sort through our feelings, values, and what essentially matters to us. This brings clarity, and we begin to trust the signs of our life, no matter what the challenges have become.

My interests are Comparative Religion and Jungian Studies. I am a musician, which helps me support the Creative in you and your journey. Please call me anytime, and I will get back to you within 24 hours. I offer a free phone consult so that we might discern if I would be the right therapist for you. If I am not, I will do my best to provide 3 referrals.

She is very professional and knowledgeable. She asks the right questions and helps me navigate my feelings which I greatly appreciate. I feel seen and heard. I feel safe and understood.

Written on Apr 23, 2026 after therapy with Kriss for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and coaching

I look forward to every week that I have my session with Kriss. I value the warmth that she brings and the space she holds. As someone that has a plethora of therapy tools in my toolbelt, Kriss always seems to find a way to have me come to conclusions in ways that I haven't done so before, or connect dots that I wouldn't have otherwise. She is a breath of fresh air.

I came to BetterHelp to help me understand and process my emotions. For years I just ignored what or how I was feeling. Kriss has helped me to dig down and understand myself and my emotions. She asks insightful questions about me and my experiences. Very grateful to have been matched with Kriss.

This was my first time experiencing an individual therapy session. I have to admit, I was scared and didn’t know if it would work. After the first session, my therapist made me feel heard and understood. I highly recommend her.
