Hi! my name is Kristie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in treating eating disorders, mood disorders, and substance use disorders. Should you choose to work with me, we will work together to determine what your goals are from which then I will integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet your individualized needs. My therapeutic style is gentle, and compassionate in a strong way, while tempered by an easy sense of humor. My hope is for you to leave your therapy sessions with hope, a feeling of empowerment, and knowing that feeling better is possible for you and change can last. I have thirty years of work experience in the mental health field. I can offer you a safe space to share, to discover, and to heal. I will support you in sharing your story, challenging beliefs and behaviors that do not serve you, and creating a new narrative that supports authenticity and self-esteem. Healing begins the moment you decide to value yourself. I bring to my practice a unique quality of my own personal journey and lived experience. I get it. I get you. I want to understand your personal journey and assist you in finding psychological well being. Everyone has a different story to tell. If I can recover, so can you!
