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!

Morgan is often described as a warm, welcoming “old soul." She believes that description is mostly true because of the challenges she has survived and overcome. Her life experiences have led her to become a counselor, and now that she is on the “lifeboat,” she wants to reach out and help others climb aboard.    Morgan works with children, adolescents, and young adults and utilizes a combination of person-centered, dialectical and cognitive behavioral, rational emotive, narrative, and family systems therapies. She is aware of the uniqueness each client and works to adapt her approach to each individual’s needs. Her approach to counseling is strength-based, and she respects individuals from all backgrounds.    Morgan sees clients for a variety of reasons, including low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship and behavioral issues, childhood trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. She likes to use the analogy that her clients are in the driver’s seat, while she is in the passenger seat with directions. She can help her clients navigate through their struggles and teach them valuable coping skills, and it is her clients who ultimately hold the power to change. Whether you are treading water, on the lifeboat, or driving to your next destination, you don’t have to make the journey alone! Morgan would love to make that journey with you.
