I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 7 years of professional work experience. I have worked with clients to help them heal and cope with a wide range of mental health issues including depression, trauma, anxiety and mood disorders. I have experience treating adult and adolescent clients with diverse cultural backgrounds who deal with grief, conflict in relationships, and work/school stressors, among other challenges. I believe the most effective growth of an individual happens during self-exploration, and my job is to be the guide.
I utilize a foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and integrate a person-centered approach. In addition to this, some modalities I incorporate into my practice include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness techniques.
For your treatment, my hope is that you gain a new perspective, skills to cope with life's stressors, and the ability to challenge negative beliefs that no longer serve you. I understand how difficult it can be to seek help, and I am here to support you in your healing process.

Kristin is a great therapist. She is kind and thorough. She gives me homewaork and I like that! She is pleasant yet has the ability to confront me on my issues which I think is necessary for me to be able to grow and change. She listens to what I need to talk about and gives solutions rather than a therapist who just listens and doesn’t help the direction of the conversation. I highly recommend Kristen!!!

Kristin is so sweet! She took the time to really hear me out and continues to do so even before and after our initial therapy session. She’s a godsend! ❤️
