I am licensed mental health counselor in New York with more than 15 years of professional experience in psychotherapy in various outpatient clinical settings. I continue to work with clients of various ages with a wide range of concerns including depression & anxiety, high stress, college/life transition difficulties, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD management. I also work with many people who are or have experienced physical trauma &/or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive and meet clients where they are at. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, art, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and personal goals.
I am aware of how difficult it can be to reach out for help. It takes courage to seek support from others and I hope to help you on your new journey towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take the first steps towards change, I am here to support and empower you at this time.
I look forward to working with you!

Kristine is so nice and welcoming with her sessions. She listens to what you have to say and gives you excellent advice for stress and anxiety. Her advice has helped me gain better sleep and less migraines. I would recommend Kristine wholeheartedly.

I have been working with Kristine for a few months now and she is wonderful! She is so kind, understanding and helpful. She really listens, never judges and does her best to help through all kinds of situations. She is so easy to talk to and has made me feel so comfortable from day one.
