Empowering

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with a master’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and seven years of experience. I focus on helping adults navigate life’s stressors that can lead to burnout and uncertainty.

I focus on helping adults navigate life’s stressors that can lead to burnout and uncertainty.

My goal is to make sure my clients know they’re not alone, and I’m dedicated to walking with them every step of the way.

First session

I approach each session with an open mind and a willingness to engage in a collaborative exchange of ideas. Rather than simply reciting a series of questions, I strive to establish a rapport with my clients and begin our discussions from a point that aligns with their comfort level.

Strengths

I’m a compassionate person who genuinely enjoys helping others. I thrive on tackling challenges collaboratively and watching clients transform their lives into what they envision. Having worked in a variety of settings, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate medical, school, or corporate environments while managing your own mental health. I draw on my experience, skills, and education to support clients, always providing compassion, empathy, and a safe space for them to be themselves.

Ideal clients

It would be my pleasure to assist adults who demonstrate a genuine commitment to personal growth and self-improvement. I am dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve their full potential and become the best versions of themselves.

Treatment methods

Strength-Based

As an experienced clinician, I truly believe that everyone has their own unique strengths. I enjoy discovering and exploring these strengths in my clients, helping them feel empowered to pursue both personal and professional growth.

Compassion-Focused

As a clinician, I think compassion-focused therapy is key to building strong connections with my clients.

Solution-Focused Brief Treatment

Solution Focused Therapy helps clients develop problem-solving skills while staying focused on their strengths. Using brief approaches can be a great way to find solutions to almost any challenge.

I have worked with 4 other therapists in the past and never felt as heard as I do with Kristy. She has continuously made a difference in my experience with therapy by remembering the little details about family dynamics or stories I've told despite the time between sessions. Kristy has met me where I'm at mentally, asks questions that I haven't already asked myself, and digs deeper to find my true stressors. + She is a very enjoyable person to talk to/banter with! Highly recommend!

I wasn't thrilled with my previous therapist so after a few sessions I started shopping around - Kristy seemed like a good fit and - at least based on first impressions - I think I was right. She listened well, had great prompts, and was very professional and warm and friendly. Looking forward to working with her!

Had my first session with Kristy and right away you can tell she is truly listening and invested in your story. Her questions were thoughtful and we were able to touch on broad subjects for our initial meeting while also setting up short term goals & plans for current stressors. I am very hopeful for my future in therapy with Kristy & look forward to progress!
