Meet Kristie

My Approach to Therapy

I am a therapist and a client. I am a regular person doing regular life just like you, and I am happy to share parts of myself with you through the process.

I show up as a therapist in my most authentic self. I don’t use psychobabble. I relate to my clients and partner with them as they work through traumatic life experiences. Therapy with me is a very collaborative process where I help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and then decide what therapeutic technique would be best for you.

I am goal-oriented and love doing deeper work with my clients. I won’t just ask you “how’s your week?” I value sticking to the goals we set and returning to those each session.

My clients describe me as friendly, relatable, smart, and able to understand their complex thought processes. We make sense of things that have felt confusing and overwhelming for so long. I am highly skilled at conceptualizing complex thought processes and helping my client make sense of why they do what they do. I want us to both understand the whole picture and how it all fits together. Then, we do the healing work.

My Specialty Areas

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma including childhood abuse and neglect, PTSD, chronic unhealthy relationships, and addiction. With a personal background in competitive sports and coaching, I enjoy working with athletes on issues unique to them.

I enjoy working with a variety of populations including business professionals, therapists, first responders, and medical personnel. I enjoy putting the time in with clients to explore how what they're experiencing now connects throughout their life.

As an EMDR Consultant, I am flexible to meet the needs of my consultees. This space is for whatever you need that day, even if you don’t know exactly what that is.
