Although Kristi and I have only had two sessions I feel that she definitely knows what she’s suggesting will help me on my way. She’s a great listener and and seems to have a vast understanding of what I’m going through mentally.

Hello! Whether you are struggling with something significant or just needing a little extra support, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to share your experiences as I help you navigate life’s circumstances.
I received a Masters degree in Social Work in 2008 from Indiana University and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2014 after attending The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with individuals struggling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, mood instability, challenging irrational beliefs, anxiety, history of trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, depression, intellectual disabilities, life transitions, and family conflict. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in creating skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness and life balance. I can collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care, social service agencies.
I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable; including video, phone, and text.

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.

Kristi is great! She always responds in a timely fashion, and has great advice and tools to help you. She was instrumental in me coming through a dark time.
Kristi has quite frankly changed my life. I wasn’t planning on paying for BetterHelp for long, but I want to continue to work with Kristi for a long time!
As a new client of Kristi's, the day I was matched with her I have been very pleased with her services. I had some urgent matters to deal with and she was extremely quick to respond to me via messaging which I greatly appreciate!
I’ve only been with Kristi for a short while, but she is very positive and friendly. She really listens to you, and gives you ways to cope with situations. I really feel like she is the right fit for me, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of progress we can make.
Very sweet and kind and gentle. A very Great listner and patient and responsive when need be.
Thank you for the help! Having you to mediate and balance me and my partner helped a lot as we developed parenting strategies for our ADHD kids
I really appreciate her. She wants to help, which is very important to me. She is also respectful and treats me well. She is always there when I need her, not just when I have an appointment.
After years of searching for a therapist, I finally found the right fit with Kristi! She listens to my anxious thoughts and provides me different ways to explore why they are occurring. I have never felt judged by her unlike other therapists I’ve met with in the past. She also keeps me engaged!
I think she is very helpful about the way she lets me say things that are on my mind. It's not limited to just when I am in a session. I can message her whenever I feel the need to and I can rest assured I'll get a timely response back
My time with Kristi has been so helpful, her insights and probing lead me to answers and even questions I hadn’t considered. She is awesome! Highly recommend.
