She brings 12 years of experience and aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most to them. Her work centers on practical skills and steady support.
Kristin uses approaches that help people reduce distress, build routines, and handle intense emotions. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between appointments and on tracking what helps over time.
Background and approach
Kristin has particular experience with post-traumatic stress and self-harm concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting stresses, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her practice pays attention to how LGBT identities and long-term mood conditions like bipolar disorder affect daily life.
Her usual tools include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, trauma-focused methods to process painful memories, and EMDR to address traumatic reactions. Kristin explains these options in simple terms and tailors them to each person’s pace. People describe her style as direct and compassionate, with a focus on building skills they can use outside sessions.
Kristin works with each client to set clear goals, adjust strategies when needed, and celebrate progress along the way.
Practical therapy methods and online access
Kristin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more helpful behaviors so daily life feels more manageable. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process painful memories and learn ways to reduce their intensity and impact on day-to-day functioning.She also uses EMDR, an approach that helps some people work through traumatic reactions by pairing memory-focused processing with guided bilateral stimulation techniques. EMDR is offered as one option alongside other methods and is explained in straightforward terms so each person can choose what feels right.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to shape a plan. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, how fast to move, and which practical skills to focus on between sessions.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different routines. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates or questions between appointments. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to use approaches that match each person’s day-to-day life.
