*Kristy is not accepting new clients at this time
As we learn to accept circumstances that cannot be changed, we must also learn new ways to make effective changes where we can. I work with individuals to learn and practice new skills to improve tolerating intense emotions, changing maladaptive behaviors, and improving effective communication. I utilize trauma-informed care, child-centered play therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapies for children, adolescents, and adults.
I have experience working with a diverse population of children (2+) and adolescents with a variety of complex emotional and behavioral considerations in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
I have many years of experience working with adults and children who have experienced trauma. I also have experience and interest in working with children with “acting out,” antisocial, and aggressive behaviors. Furthermore, I enjoy working with individuals learning to overcome mood disorders, dissociative disorders, emotional disturbance, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behavior, grief, psychosis, depression, self-injurious behavior, adjustment, attachment, and related concerns.
I provide an individualized, strengths-focused approach to counseling. As I facilitate the therapeutic process, I hope to empower you and/or your child to make the changes that you want to make and help you reach your full potential! I look forward to working with you!
