Hello, I'm a therapist, Sex-Educator, social worker, and I truly believe therapy can change lives. My clients and I work collaboratively on relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ topics, anxiety, coping mechanisms, depression and Trauma-focused therapy. I often work with individuals who aren't happy with how their life is currently going &/or want to embrace a healthier version of themselves. A little more about me: besides being a LCSW-PA, I have a background in Human Sexuality Education (M.Ed) which I draw upon for best practices/expertise in supporting clients and their relationships. I am a sex-positive clinician (prioritizing consent and safety), experienced with polyamory and non-monogamy relationships, BDSM & the kink community. You'll find I am down to earth, empathetic, and a great listener! If you're interested in working together, please contact to schedule a brief consultation. I can apply a Sliding Scale related to self-pay clients, if interested please let let me know.

My journey into therapy began with a desire to help the hurting individuals I worked with in a group home, and a genuine passion for helping others find strength through life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing a wide range of challenges—experiences that have shown me just how powerful and transformative therapy can be. These moments have only deepened my commitment to walking alongside others on their path to healing. I’m continually inspired by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change. We can change and heal. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way.

I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

Welcome and thanks for stopping in. My name is Kristy, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My ancestry is both Native American and northern European. I have been working in this field since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures at home, at school and work, with your relationships and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. Are you feeling ready to dive deeper into your unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you live? Are you thinking you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things in your life that perhaps your caregivers did? I invite you to reach out to begin this deeper exploration.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

I truly believe that we are all capable of overcoming any obstacle, given the right tools to do so. I place importance on orchestrating a warm environment to build vulnerability and tackle shame. Throughout my career, I have gained experience treating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, ADHD, and sexual issues. I have also assisted couples with developing healthy communication skills, strengthening their conflict resolution, and rebuilding their connection. I utilize various approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, as well as Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. While I tailor my techniques to suit the needs of my clients, the most important factor in my work is the therapeutic relationship that we develop. I value a dynamic built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. Choosing to begin therapy can be an intimidating decision for some people. The prospect of change, and being an active participant in that change, is not always easy. Therefore, I place a heavy emphasis on building the counseling relationship. I truly value the importance of creating an authentic, engaging, vulnerable, and supportive environment. This is one of the most important factors of our work, as trust helps us to be open to change and honest with ourselves. Judgement has never helped, shame has never solved a thing. So, it is my goal to help others understand what works best for them, what makes them sparkle, what gets their fire going, what has held them back, and helping them resolve any shame around it, to have healthier relationships with themselves. If you're in need of a counselor who is eclectic, authentic, sex-positive, and present in the room, you've come to the right place.
