Hi, I am Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC and received my Master's Degree from Western Carolina in May of 2019. I have worked with clients ranging from ages 4-65 years and have experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns to include Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Psychosis, Attachment Disorders, Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Addiction. I use an intentional eclectic approach to counseling that is guided by the needs of my client’s and work to ensure treatment meets the needs of each individual client.
In our first session together I will work to explore your symptoms, identify strengths, learn about your current life circumstance and identify your goals for treatment to create a tailored treatment plan. I will share more about my own approach to treatment and how I can best service you as your therapist.
I work diligently to be a person-centered therapist and believe that all clients hold the answers to their own experiences. I will never act as the expert in your life and will attempt to learn from you and your experiences to assist you in creating change. I am always looking for the strengths in every person and using those to assist you in creating action steps that will work to help you feel proud of the work you are doing in your life.
I love working with clients who are motivated for change and who are willing to engage in the treatment process. I enjoy working with clients to build their strengths, normalize their experiences and strengthen their belief in themselves to create actionable change. I prefer to work with clients who are not afraid to address their role in situations and create change while also identifying how their life circumstances may have resulted in unfortunate outcomes they now need to address.

I have been using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in my practice since the Spring of 2020 and have completed EMDR certification. EMDR helps to assist clients in identifying underlying negative core beliefs and reprocess those experiences to reduce emotional responses and strengthen positive beliefs about self. EMDR is a more rapid approach to treatment, typically lasting no more than a year, depending on the severity of experiences. EMDR can be used to address long-term trauma or to address a singular traumatic experience that is causing significant disturbance to your life.
ACT is a value-based approach to treatment. Through engaging in ACT we focus on identifying cognitive messaging that results in maladaptive patterns and often prevents you from living a life of value. We will work to explore your true values, actions we can take to immediately begin taking steps for living a more valued life and focus on acceptance of the human experience.
I believe that all people have significant strengths and throughout my time as a therapist I have been able to work with clients to find their strengths in the most difficult of situations. I prefer building onto the strengths that already exist and using those to move towards living a successful and positive life.

Kristin has been wonderful to work with. She thoughtfully challenges my thinking and brings to light other perspectives to consider without dismissing my own emotions or experience. I'm more aware of my triggers and we're working to find ways to best combat those. Kristin listens to me without judgement, offers practical options to try, and weaves a bit of humor and relatability into our conversations. Highly recommend!

Kristin has always been open to hearing my thoughts and getting things off my chest. What I appreciate is she isn’t just always a “that’s okay to feel that way” kind of therapist - she pushes you to challenge your own misconceptions, and to think deeper about the roots of your thoughts and feelings. Having that awareness makes such a difference in moving in the right direction and past those roadblocks.

Kristin is absolutely amazing, she helps decipher whatever is coming out of your mouth into something productive and something to learn about yourself. She has a wonderful ability to empathise but then follow it up with education to help you understand your own thoughts and feelings.
