Kriss Light, LMFT
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.

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.

Kriss makes me feel seen in a way I've never felt seen before. Her expertise is profound and illuminating. I've felt held and validated in my most uncertain and vulnerable times while working with her. I feel she is able to see beyond so many veils of illusion and disillusion that we may carry in life, and trust her respect for me as an evolving human being. I'm very grateful to have connected with her at this point in my life and look forward to all she has to share every time.

Kriss has a positive energy and presence that is so needed when you are struggling and not feeling your best. She helps you to find and express your feelings, and validates all feelings are important and can be acknowledged in order to heal and move forward in strength. Sometimes you just need someone to talk that will actually hear what you’re saying. Thank you Kriss.
