Kristi has been passionate about helping others as long as she can remember. Her career began as a hospice social worker, which was incredibly rewarding and radically changed her perspective on life. Later, Kristi pivoted to private practice after her own life-changing experiences in therapy. She is trained in several modalities, including Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, and Brainspotting. Kristi was selected as one of only 16 therapists to be in the first training cohort of the Relationship Theory Model (RTM) with Jourdan Blue. RTM is revolutionizing the way individuals and couples approach relationship-focused therapy and relationship coaching. 

 

Kristi's approach to counseling is direct, results-focused, and collaborative. She has high expectations for her clients, giving them the compassion and accountability they need for success, growth, and change. Kristi emphasizes that the process requires work and correspondence outside of sessions, and she guides her clients to "immerse and rehearse" what they are learning, ultimately retraining their brain for secure, healthy connections.

 

Kristi understands if you are skeptical about counseling or have tried it and were unsuccessful. However, she encourages you to reach out to her so she can explain how her approach is different and how she can help you thrive!
