More about Kristi
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a counselor dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, I help clients navigate complex emotions and build meaningful change in their lives.
My work focuses on helping people address communication difficulties, social anxiety, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and posttraumatic stress. I also specialize in supporting those working through attachment issues, mood disorders, personality challenges, and the unique experiences of adoption and foster care.
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your concerns without judgment. My approach is grounded in understanding your individual needs and values, including your faith perspective if that's important to you. I'm particularly honored to work with older adults and bring cultural sensitivity to our therapeutic relationship.
Whether you're navigating life transitions, healing from past experiences, or seeking support for current struggles, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise. I look forward to supporting you on your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
