Since 1985, we have been committed to helping our clients and their families overcome and deal with substance abuse and dependency issues, including alcohol, drugs, prescription medications, smoking, and vaping. Our state of the art, holistic approach to treatment and long-term recovery includes addressing the medical, psychological, social, family and behavioral factors that influence and perpetuate these complex and chronic health conditions. We believe the most successful treatment strategies are based on the needs of each individual. As every story is different, so is each path to recovery and wellness. We help our clients map out their own unique strategy, and guide them along the way.
Hi, it’s great to have you here! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a person-centered approach that honors each client’s unique story, strengths, and capacity for growth. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and patterns, life transitions, and trauma. I draw from evidence-based models, such as Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & trauma-informed practices. I support clients in fostering emotional resilience and improving relational connection to self and others. I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of authentic connection with the goal of providing a compassionate, collaborative space where growth and self-expansion can unfold. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking deeper connection and insight, I’m here to walk alongside you towards healing.
If you are ready for a change and your old patterns are not working for you, together we will explore healthy, realistic changes to improve the quality of your life and relationships. I work with my clients to help identify and explore ways to help make their everyday life and struggles easier. Together we build a trusting environment to create positive change. I help my clients address mental health needs such as depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I believe that counseling is a pathway for growth and healing. My job as your counselor is to give you the tools to do just that. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic and genuine. I find that both challenge and encouragement helps individuals make optimal changes. I aim to teach skills that will help you better manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and inviting space with the opportunity to promote self-reflection. I would like to help you develop hope and positive curiosity about your inner life and the opportunities for growth and healing that lie before you. I look forward to the opportunity to guide you along this path!
Hello! I’m Kristin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience in providing compassionate, client-centered care. I’m dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges and helping them achieve personal growth and emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I believe that every individual has the strength to overcome challenges, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or seeking ongoing guidance, I’m committed to providing you with the tools and support you need to thrive.
What if, what if you had a person to help you with reducing the burden of sadness...anxiety...fear... What if, what if you had a person who created a safe, non-judgmental space who could help you move towards positive change in your life. With over 20 years of experience, I have developed a compassionate and informed approach to therapy. My client centered approach integrates culturally informed and evidenced based treatment practices to address your specific needs. I believe in starting with people where they are and empowering them to create change in their life. If you’re ready to begin the journey of self-discovery and healing, I’d be honored to work with you.
I work with people who long to feel more at home with themselves and in their lives. My clients are curious, self-reflective and have experienced things that leave them feeling hurt, fearful and alone. During sessions we may encounter powerful gates of self-discovery like grief, anger, and shame. Together we get to know these parts of you, approach them with kindness, release painful stories and make meaning. Clients leave sessions feeling closer to themselves, able to move through their lives with clarity and presence. My approach weaves multiple therapeutic approaches within and beyond traditional psychotherapy. I’m trained in IFS and EMDR, and incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices into sessions. I offer reiki, a form of energy healing, to support regulation and rest. I'm also a student of tarot and astrology, and can include these perspectives in the work. I welcome all parts of you to this work. To learn more about me and to see if we are a good match for doing this work together, email me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or ADHD? I work best with teens and young adults who are ready to explore what’s beneath the surface—whether that means navigating tough emotions, building confidence, or learning how to connect more meaningfully with others. My ideal clients are curious, open to trying new things, and appreciate a space where creativity, humor, and authenticity are valued. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself or obtain support while navigating a challenging time in your life, we can work together to move toward insight, balance, and lasting growth. I offer counseling rooted in a person-centered approach, blending creative arts, geek therapy strategies, ACT, CBT, and Narrative Therapy. I help clients express themselves, build coping skills, and rewrite unhelpful patterns—all in a space that values authenticity, creativity, and connection. Reaching out for support can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're navigating anxiety, self-doubt, or just trying to better understand yourself, I’m here to walk with you. Together, we can create a space where growth, confidence, and connection can thrive.

The idea of starting therapy can stir up many emotions for us. Maybe we're scared of getting vulnerable. Maybe we're struggling to accept that we need help and feel like we've failed. And maybe a little bit of us sparks with hope that something better can happen in our lives; that change is possible. Many people enter therapy feeling disconnected and low on hope, but together we can work to change that. I love helping clients to restore hope and connection with their most authentic selves. Over the last decade I have worked with people coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also bring a specialized focus in working with adoptees and caregivers (especially those who find themselves unexpectedly care giving for a loved one earlier in life than they anticipated). My work is most informed by a background in trauma, attachment, and self compassion. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping people to see themselves with more clarity and kindness. If you think I might be a good fit to work with you, drop me a message and let's chat!
Please feel free to take a look at my website. I see many students who are dealing with social anxiety, loneliness, anxiety, relationship problems, eating disordered behaviors, family issues, adjustment problems, trauma of all kinds, depression and grief. I do use a trauma modality known as EMDR which I can explain should it be a good idea for you. Also please know I am active in the sessions so that for the most part there are no long difficult silences! I am also a musician and so i work well with students or adults in the arts.
Drawing upon over a decade of experience in solution-focused, client-centered, EMDR and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy techniques, I seek to serve my clients by creating a goal-orientated, collaborative treatment plan to help you achieve your desired goals, work through past trauma, relationship difficulties, get "unstuck", or work through problem areas. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and relational. I believe that people are naturally motivated toward healing and recovery, and that an alliance with a supportive therapist, with whom you feel safe and comfortable, can facilitate this process. There is no template or single method that I use in my practice. Instead, we will determine the pace and style that is best for you. Throughout our work together, I will be open to and enthusiastic about the feedback you provide about the treatment. I will share my thoughts and assessments, with room for discussion. My goal is to facilitate and support your efforts to change so that you recognize your unique strengths. We will explore your current strategies and develop new methods of coping. I favor approaches that address the connection between mental and physical well-being, which include mindfulness, meditation, and breath-work. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and struggles with intimacy and relationships all have a profound impact on how we experience and negotiate our life's work. Together we can identify these roadblocks, work in a targeted way to resolve them, and promote the healthy development and happiness you deserve.
Living with intrusive thoughts, urges, images, or other related mental health stressors each day can feel exhausting and debilitating. In sessions, we will explore the nature of your symptoms, learn tools you can use to manage these symptoms, and aim to reach a point where you can live the life you value and desire! We work with all ages for those struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, and related disorders. We take a collaborative, holistic, and problem-solving approach to treatment using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
Hey there! Are you looking for a fresh perspective, a safe space to process your experiences (past and present), and someone to offer suggestions on how to change up patterns that are no longer serving you? I can help! I'm here to be your partner as we work together to develop a better understanding of your authentic self and create positive change in your life. I love working with clients on topics like anxiety, life transitions, relationships and self-esteem, and I also have experience supporting clients with depression, substance abuse/addiction recovery, and challenging family dynamics. My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy and I also utilize a lot of techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, but I'll often pull from a variety of evidence-based modalities to best fit your specific needs and goals. Does it sound like you and I could be a good fit? Send me an email and we can chat more about setting up an intake session. I look forward to connecting with you!
