Hi, my name is Kristin I am a LCSW licensed by the state of California. I have a wealth of experience as a psychotherapist working for the state of California in various clinical social work roles. I am a EMDR trained Therapist. I am also a medical social worker, with experience working in hospice and dialysis. I am a trauma informed therapist to assist clients in the healing process and move clients from victim to victory. I believe clients who are living with past trauma, and heavy emotions need support. I am especially helpful at helping my clients find the ground when everything feels out of control. I am ready, willing and able to support your confidence about ways to handle the turmoil that life brings.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
At the first session, clients can expect a warm, safe, nonjudgemental environment. We will build rapport and create an individualized treatment plan together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Through my own struggles with depression, anxiety and trauma, I went back to school to become a Social Worker. My greatest strength is empathy and compassion which came out of my own struggles. I have 13 years of mental health experience. I became a mental health provider to assist clients in the healing process just as someone assisted me on my personal journey of healing.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work well with adults and couples dealing with heavy emotions, confusion, or ADHD. I offer a safe environment and utilize skills that support healing, empowerment, and vibrant thriving. I use Christian Counseling, Mindfulness, CBT, and Bereavement Counseling to support solution-oriented conversations. If you are battling a lack of connection, motivation, sadness, negative thinking, racing thoughts, anxiety, or depression I am sure we can find your best answers together.

Kristin is wonderful! I had been to therapy right before seeing her and it was awful. She turned my perspective around and reminded me what therapy should feel like. She is kind and listens attentively. She is making a difference in my life and I can't thank her enough!
