About me

As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach centers on helping clients navigate emotional struggles with empathy, understanding, and faith-based sensitivity.

I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief, and self-esteem challenges. My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals overcome isolation, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and life transition difficulties. I'm particularly committed to supporting those experiencing guilt, shame, and challenges related to personal purpose and communication.

My practice offers a supportive environment for individuals seeking guidance through difficult emotional landscapes, with a deep respect for personal faith and individual journeys. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and move toward healing and personal growth.

Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide thoughtful, personalized support tailored to each individual's unique needs and spiritual perspective. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they rediscover their strength, rebuild confidence, and create meaningful pathways forward.

Kristy is an amazing person who has helped me in so many ways in understanding myself and others. She listens to me and provides sound Godly advice. I love that we pray together before ending our calls. I just want to thank Kristy and look forward to continuing our sessions.

Kristy has helped me in so many ways. I come to her with anxiety, depression and childhood trauma. Kristy stands behind what she says to you, that at the end of the session, she lets you know that "YOU MATTER".. She is the BEST...
