Hello, I'm Kristine, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). With extensive experience in addressing a wide range of issues, I am here to support you through life's challenges. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, child abuse/neglect, ADHD, conduct disorder, behavioral disorders, personality disorders, or adjustment disorders, I am equipped to help you navigate these difficulties. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples, focusing on behavioral issues, family cohesion, crisis and trauma, adjustment, and parenting/co-parenting. My approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I find incredibly effective in helping clients understand and change their thought patterns and behaviors. However, I also incorporate mindfulness, play therapy, expressive arts, and other techniques tailored to meet your unique needs. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is at the heart of my practice. I am committed to ensuring that you feel validated and comfortable throughout our sessions. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I am here to walk alongside you, providing the support and tools you need to achieve your goals. If you're ready to take the first step towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create positive change in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, you can expect to have the opportunity to express your reasons for seeking therapy, ask questions of me, and assist in creating a treatment plan that meets your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) approach, but also incorporate additional approaches such as mindfulness, play therapy, expressive arts, and other techniques as applicable to the client's need.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate in assisting neurodivergent patients become comfortable with themselves as well as understand and manage their neurodiversity.
