About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) for over ten years. I have an extensive background in proving individual and group therapy and have worked with all age groups (children-geriatrics).
I have worked with clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, career issues, grief/loss, and family conflict. My role as a practitioner is to go by the motto “start where the client is at.” I do not believe there is a one size fits all approach for therapy. I have engaged clients in CBT, psychodynamic approaches, and many stress management exercises.
I am ready to help you take the first steps to having a happier life!

Have tried it before meeting Krissy. Did not like the experience... Love her❣️

I absolutely love conversations with Kristin. It has been a long time since I have spoken with anyone about my mental health, and I am so happy I can do that with her, and not feel judged. The assignments I have done so far are really eye opening, and made me take a deep look at where I am mentally, spiritually, social, and emotionally.

I’ve only been seeing Krissy for a few weeks but I already look forward to our sessions or her feedback. It can be overwhelming to find the right therapist, but I already feel like she’s helping me make progress and gives thoughtful and gentle feedback

I must say Krissy is the best at listening and guiding you to a place that feels safe . I appreciate what she’s done for me and my family .

She is super personable and a great listener. She has really helped me connect the dots that I wasn't able to see myself. I understand myself better and can really tell that therapy has made a difference in my outlook on life. Thanks Krissy!!
