Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Something brought you here, and that takes courage. You deserve to work with someone who takes your courage and your life challenges seriously. I’m Kristie, a licensed professional, MSW LISW-S, who specializes in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-exploration. My warm, compassionate approach will be tailored to what you need as I adapt and blend therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBt, narrative therapy, MI, acceptance, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you identify and transform unhelpful thought patterns, build present-moment awareness, and uncover old behaviors interfering in your current life. I believe the most important factor in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client and have spent 17 years empowering my clients to feel confident in their ability to navigate life with calm clarity and to develop self-compassion that allows genuine growth. The right support changes everything. If you are ready to take the next step towards regaining control and a more fulfilling life, contact me now. LGBTQ+ affirming.
