About me
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland with 15 years of experience working with people across the lifespan. I'm also a Certified Reiki Master, Certified Yoga Instructor, and a Registered Play Therapist.
I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, and post-traumatic stress. I have specialized training in supporting trauma survivors that are ready to do the personal work to become trauma "thrivers". I also have a heart for working with women that are recovering from domestic violence/narcissistic abuse. Although I value my work with men, I have a special place for women that are learning how to reclaim power and confidence in self (first!) and in their relationships.
My therapy style is a mix of warm, non-judgmental, and experiential learning and conversation. I operate from a strength-based approach, which means that I offer a supreme embrace in who you are as a WHOLE person. I like to incorporate expressive-art and mind-body based interventions in my work because "talk therapy" can only do but so much.
If you're ready to WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to your recovery, I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.

Kristian has established trust with me. She has created a space where I can be my most vulnerable self. Kristian has engaged in sessions through listening and sharing strategies for me to implement. She checks in with me between sessions to see how things are going and how she can continue to support me. I am grateful for her expertise and knowledge and how she integrates my spiritual beliefs in our sessions.

For me, Kristian is a safe space. She makes me feel comfortable enough to share my thoughts and how I am really feeling.

Haven't felt this well listened to, understood, or validated in close to a decade. Couldn't be happier; truly grateful.
