Hello, my name is Kristin and I’m a licensed counselor in both Pennsylvania and Maryland. I have been a therapist for almost 15 years and have experience working with a variety of populations. I have worked with children and adults providing crisis counseling, individual therapy, group therapy and psychoeducation. About 8 years ago, I completed my MBA and earned a national certification for Human Resources Management (SHRM-CP and PHR).
Through my experiences, I have found that my true passion is helping professional women work through the stress they are experiencing. As women, we typically hold many roles, often burning the candle at both ends and taking care of others before ourselves. My goal is to provide support for women who are struggling creating a work/life balance, experiencing career issues or any other life changes (having a child, separation/divorce, new job, etc.) that seem to impact their ability to be the mother, daughter, wife, employee, boss, business owner and woman they want to be.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work with my clients because I believe that if we can change our thoughts, we can change how we approach things in our everyday life. This would, ideally, provide less stress and reduce potential for depression, anxiety and other mental health disorders. Our thoughts are extremely powerful and often times, we don’t even realize what we are thinking. I believe that slowing down and taking time to really hone in on our thoughts and seeing their impact can provide some great perspective! I always like to mention that I can’t solve your problems or “fix” issues you are facing, but I will be a support and work with you! I truly believe we each have the answers and therapists/counselors are just a tool to help bring them out.
Asking for help is not always easy, so I’m glad you are taking the first step. I look forward to working alongside you in your journey for a more intentional you!
