I am exceptionally comfortable with Kristine and confident she can and will continue to help me feel better. I tried better help with low if any expectations and she has far surpassed that and made this an easy and helpful experience.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 5 years of clinical experience working with a wide rage of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, and PTSD. I have helped people through different life problems including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, grief, adjustment to changes such as divorce and relocation, low self-esteem, poor organization, and developing social skills. I have also served those who have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma.
I love this profession because it provides the opportunity to support and journey with people as they move toward hope and healing. I am warm, inviting and encouraging. I like to use humor (when appropriate), metaphors, and stories in working with clients. I see the client as the expert of their own problems and my role is to help the client find solutions and access their own wealth of wisdom. Each person is different and I look forward to collaborating to create a treatment plan that fits you.
I encourage you to take a moment to acknowledged this first step you are taking toward hope and healing. I look forward to meeting with you and hearing your story.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
