As a new client of Kristi's, the day I was matched with her I have been very pleased with her services. I had some urgent matters to deal with and she was extremely quick to respond to me via messaging which I greatly appreciate!

I really appreciate her. She wants to help, which is very important to me. She is also respectful and treats me well. She is always there when I need her, not just when I have an appointment.

After years of searching for a therapist, I finally found the right fit with Kristi! She listens to my anxious thoughts and provides me different ways to explore why they are occurring. I have never felt judged by her unlike other therapists I’ve met with in the past. She also keeps me engaged!
