Kriss is really good in asking right questions and listening

Kriss is kind and calm and very thought provoking in her approach to therapy. I really enjoy that our sessions make me do some deeper soul searching and it's not just someone listening, she triggers new ideas and perspectives to improve our own approach to our issues. Looking forward to the growth that comes with having a great therapist like Kriss.

I am a Jungian Certificated Psychotherapist. You will hear the language of Self, Shadow, Anima, Animus and Individuation. Depth Psychology is interested in all ages. All Peoples. All Understandings. "How does it work?" people ask. By making the Unconscious, Conscious. Therapist and patient become curious together, about your life. Psychotherapy is the inner journey towards understanding ourselves. Your journey. By making conscious our unconscious (often complicated) feelings, we project them less onto the world and less onto others. This process, brings self acceptance and peace to the soul. I look forward to sitting with you.

Many events in life bring us into therapy. Loss, Transitions, Trauma, Stressors, our Health. We come to a crossroads, not knowing which way is the right way. In Depth Psychology we sort through our feelings, values, and what essentially matters to us. This brings clarity, and we begin to trust the signs of our life, no matter what the challenges have become.

My interests are Comparative Religion and Jungian Studies. I am a musician, which helps me support the Creative in you and your journey. Please call me anytime, and I will get back to you within 24 hours. I offer a free phone consult so that we might discern if I would be the right therapist for you. If I am not, I will do my best to provide 3 referrals.

About online counseling

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.

Kriss is really good in asking right questions and listening

I am gay, Kriss is not! I find her gentle way and acceptance of me/my life extremely comfortable, which initially surprised me. Her expertise as as therapist along with the depth of her being/soul make her ideal for me. I am 79 but could be 49 ! Would not matter! Thanks Kriss!

Kriss creates comfortable space for conversation and listens very closely. Not rushed looking for responses and pulls thoughts together in a picture of sorts. Getting to some long standing issues with more ease than anticipated! Grateful.

Kriss has been a godsend to me in the journey I am on to deal with being a caregiver to a spouse with cancer. She had also brought amazing insight to some of my background that is helping me feel renewed in spite of the difficult circumstances I am currently living through. I am very grateful for her support and wisdom

So understanding and sweet ☺️ always checks up and reaches out.

Perfect for me! I’m strong woman and she’s a good listener. Her comments/feedback well timed and gentle which help me listen.

I wasn’t completely sure about the experience going into it, but Kriss immediately created a safe and grounded space for me to process my experiences. She’s educated, kind and a pleasure to work with.

Kriss Light is as warm and gentle as her bio describes. If you’re looking for someone who can hold space for you and feel comfortable and safe, she’s the one! I’ve only had a few sessions but already greatly appreciate the way she poses questions about what I share and giving me the power to process slowly. Very professional and knowledgeable.
