To consider other life perspectives , with the ultimate goal of forging a sense of hope, healing ...and a new pathway forward . I truly believe that we all have inherent gifts and strengths. However, sometimes we encounter difficulty accessing the power we all have within us to succeed and overcome life's challenges. Everyone is fighting their own unique battle: to be free from the past...to live in the present...and to create their future . You are not alone. Life can be more difficult than we often anticipate at times; steering us onto unpaved roads, throwing us unexpected curve-balls... Sometimes , piling way too much on our plates at once. Therapy can be the missing link: to facilitate your healing , to support you in living a healthier life... and in leading a more productive life . Be your authentic self... It would be my honor to assist you in your journey!

I wake up each day hoping to make someone’s day a little brighter and lighter by being there to listen to them. I will be there to help them make changes to their lives and deal with any obstacles that may come along the way. I approach therapy by being compassionate, respectful and non-judge mental. I understand that change and asking for help are difficult for many. Taking those first steps can be the hardest. I work with my clients to identify the change they want to make, answer questions about the problem/change and set goals to address the problem/change areas. I look forward to meeting and working with you as you make changes to your life. Kristin
