We all have experienced times when life seems challenging. Whether it be a period of transition, ongoing struggles with mental wellness or a loss that can seem overwhelming. Or maybe you are struggling with the current times, that can find us in a world that might not feel very stable or safe. Routines have been interrupted, financial stressors have been amplified, and health/livelihood are being questioned. You don’t have to go through these times alone. And in these moments, you might benefit by chatting with a counselor. And that’s where I come into play.
I am an experienced therapist that assists others that are wanting to change old patterns in order to create growth and change. I specialize in working with adults in the following areas: LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions (to include HIV), grief/loss and trauma. I use a combination of skills and interventions to foster resiliency and empower clients to reach their individualized goals. I believe in a holistic approach (mind and body connection) and utilize mindfulness interventions to help clients be present and grounded. I believe it’s important to understand how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all interconnected.
Therapy is an authentic and secure connection between the client and therapist. It consists of a space of safety, respect and acceptance between both entities. The therapeutic process can consist of only a few sessions to address immediate concerns (or to get a tune-up as I call it) or it can be extended to address long standing patterns. The first (and sometimes hardest) step is to send me an email to initiate services. I look forward to working alongside you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is one of the best.
So far so good! Just started but a great experience so far!
Kristin in amazing. I really enjoy my time with her and she has helped me learn a lot about myself. She’s also great at providing resources, ideas and suggestions that are very helpful. Highly recommend her for therapy!
She is an incredible therapist!
Kristin is knowledgeable, helpful, and determined to help with the things I'm dealing with. She gives applicable suggestions and meets me where I am, I definitely recommend her talents as a therapist.
I’ve tried therapy a lot over the past 20 years and never connected with any therapist. I never had a break through, I never felt the benefits, I never saw improvement. My experience with my BetterHelp therapist is polar opposite. This is the first time in my life that I feel like I’m starting to understand how I uniquely process my own reality. Slowly but surely, I’m starting to recognize patterns that I fall prey to and am discovering I’m capable of rising above these challenges. It’s liberating. I highly recommend my therapist and I highly recommend BetterHelp.
Kristin has been the most incredible therapist I could have hoped for. She is timely, professional, empathetic, and overall just great at her job! I appreciate how LGBTQ friendly she is.
Kristin is a good listener! She helps me understand my issues and is very supportive and kind. I enjoy talking to her and she is not judgemental at all! I feel a lot more confident and I improved my self esteem.
Kristin is fabulous and has been extremely helpful during this journey!
Kristin is a wonderful therapist who is very patient, friendly, and kind. She understands my needs and always provides resources when needed. She’s very respectful of boundaries and a wonderful person to work with. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had!
I feel heard and respected, I have had nothing but a positive experience so far.

Kristin is the best. She's super kind, super patient, just like the most perfect person as far as therapists go. Shes so good at what she does that I've never felt uncomfortable confiding in her, especially about tough topics.
She has a calm voice
Kristin is the absolute best! I feel so comfortable taking her advice and being completely raw in our sessions!!
My experience with therapy sessions under Kristin has been nothing short of transformative. Kristin consistently exhibits professionalism, warmth, and a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate the complexities of their emotions and mental health. Kristin's therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and understanding. She has an incredible ability to listen attentively, without judgment, and create a safe space for exploring personal challenges. Her insightful questions and guidance encourage clients to dive deeper into their thought patterns and emotions, leading to profound self-discovery and growth. Highly skilled in a variety of therapeutic techniques, Kristin tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. She provides tools and strategies that help clients overcome anxiety, cope with stress, and improve overall well-being. Additionally, her extensive knowledge in mental health allows her to recommend relevant resources, such as books and support groups, that further support the healing journey. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Kristin is her ability to foster a strong therapeutic alliance. Through her warm and genuine demeanor, clients feel valued, heard, and respected in every session. This trust enables them to be open and honest about their struggles, ultimately facilitating significant personal growth. In conclusion, my experience with Kristin has been invaluable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective therapist, Kristin is undoubtedly the person to see. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, she will be there to guide you every step of the way.
She is an amazing therapist!
Kristin is a very empathetic listener. She helps me understand myself better and gives me ways to better manage my emotions without changing who I am. I am thoroughly enjoying this journey!
She has been the best Therapist I’ve ever had. I feel like she really knows how to help me.
Kristin has been the best therapist I have ever connected with on and off this app over several years. I’ve had some good, some bad, but she’s finally been the one I feel I’ve really connected with. I feel I have made a lot of progress emotionally as well as in my relationships with others with her assistance. I am setting and working towards my goals with her guidance. I have never felt an ounce of negative judgement from her. She asks me clarifying questions and centers me back to solution oriented thinking the times I have been on a tangent or having difficulty expressing my feelings. She is very open minded and full of resources she recommends. There is a very warm open energy to her that really can’t be put into words and only experienced. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a very professional yet warm and down to earth therapist.
Kristin is so kind, caring, and personable. I appreciate everything she has done for me. Highly recommended.

Kristin has been nothing but supportive of me. I cannot begin to describe how much working with her weekly has improved my skills in dealing with my struggles.

She is the no BS type of counselor that I was looking for. She understands my goals and encourages vulnerability in a very approachable way. I love working with her and I think that having her in my life is a huge benefit. I recommend her strongly.
I came to BetterHelp and was recommended to Kristen during a crazy week of my life. I was focused and worried about one particular thing, but felt comfortable branching out and talking about multiple areas of my life. I felt that she listened and always gave me room to share as much or as little as I felt comfortable doing.
Kristin is very understanding and always makes me feel like my feelings and opinions matter. I feel very confident and comfortable talking to her.
Kristin is very responsive, compassionate and knowledgeable. I’m very grateful for her support and expertise.

Kristin is a really great counselor. She listens to your needs, she's open and honest with you as well. She understands your needs and makes you feel like you're important.
Kristin has been nothing but professional, kind, understanding, and patient. As a first time therapy patient, this has been a wonderful experience. I was apprehensive at first, but I have felt better since starting with Kristin.
It has only been 2 sessions, but at this time I feel she is doing/asking what is necessary to help understand the background of my concerns.
She is saving my life!!! <3
I feel like Kristin is a very caring person which is great for what I need since I need someone that I feel comfortable with to open up. I talk alot about how I'm feeling and I feel like she listens to everything and takes in every piece of information that I give her instead of just focusing on one part. Except when we are purposefully going into depth on the matter. Her approach to questioning in order to get to the root of the problem I feel are very direct and helpful for the problems I'm dealing with that helps me explore my thoughts about how I'm feeling and the deeper problems. She is great at responding to my journals and posts online addressing mostly everything I said in a reasonable time. I feel like she is dependable for helping me find solutions where I'm at the point where if I'm feeling a certain way I can talk to her about it to work out a solution that I'll happy with.
