Meet Kristine

People seek counseling for different reasons, often because something in life feels off or unmanageable. I work with individuals, recognizing that each person has a unique culture, perspective, and lived experience. My goal is to maximize your strengths, provide insight into behavior patterns, and foster new skills while honoring what makes you unique. I use a blend of approaches, including a Cognitive Behavioral lens to explore thinking patterns and body-centered skills to support growth and healing.

My goal is to maximize strengths, provide insight into behavior patterns, and foster new skills while honoring each person’s or system’s uniqueness.

Outside of work, I like to hike and wander in the woods. I'd never pass up a sunny beach! I'm a big thrifter and, lately, enjoy pickleball.
