Hi! I’m Kristin, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified First Responder Counselor. Prior to beginning my career in the mental health field, I spent 6 years in law enforcement. I am extremely passionate about helping first responders, and their spouses, navigate the challenges associated with the demands of the profession. Based on my lived experience, and additional trainings, I truly understand the unique challenges first responders face on a daily basis.

I  take a collaborative and client-centered approach to therapy. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for each of my clients to feel validated and supported. With that being said, I am not the therapist to sit back quietly. I am direct and I challenge my clients to engage in the self-reflection necessary to see real change in their lives.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with empathy and understanding. Before transitioning to this career in mental health, I spent 12 years in the wellness industry, where I developed a strong foundation in helping people achieve personal growth, well-being, and resilience. My background in fitness and nutrition allows me to bring a holistic approach to the therapy room—understanding the deep connection between mind and body. 

My approach is client-centered and individualized, always ensuring that each therapeutic plan is tailored to the unique needs and goals of my clients. I offer a safe, empathetic space where clients can explore the “messy” parts of life—those moments of struggle, uncertainty, and change. In my free time, I enjoy staying active and exploring outdoor activities, as well as continuing my personal journey of growth and learning.
