Meet Kristine

I believe therapy should be built on connection and safety. I am passionate about helping you recognize your strengths and worth, and celebrating wins, no matter how big or small. You will hear me encouraging you to find the silver lining and prioritize self-care, including learning about how many “spoons” you need. I use a variety of treatment modalities, tailored to your unique needs and goals, to help you get the most out of therapy.
