    Kristin changed my life and the way I think about things. When I first started with her I was in a really deep dark place and didn’t really know how to go about what i was feeling. She really helped me explore my emotions and manage my stress and anxiety to the fullest. I use the tools that she taught me in my every day life. I will be forever grateful for the impact she has made on my life.

    Kristen is consistently helpful with the entire spectrum of issues that I bring to her on a weekly basis. Insanely consistent, ridiculously insightful, you can’t go wrong with her and she is always looking to help you as much as possible. Beyond that, she is open minded and constantly trying to help you or just listen if that’s all you need.

    After therapy with Kristin for 6 days.

    Kristin has done an amazing job at counseling me. I started off with a certain set of expectations and needs that I voiced. She respected them. She allowed me to have a voice and made me feel like an equal. She was warm, welcoming, the atmosphere she offered me was simply amazing. To me, she feels aware that everyone has a different story, and no matter how much someone fits a pattern, it may apply 99% of the time, but the 1% need to be heard, looked out for and validated too.

The best thing I like about her style is that she’s so supportive uplifting and the questions style helped me find my path and take decisions. I understand myself, my emotions and thoughts much better. Thank you Kristin.
