More about Kristin
- 26 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I help my clients, who include children, adults and families, find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, grateful, whole and safe.
While being in private practice for over 18 years, I recognize there is no single approach for all. I am a firm believer in starting where the patient is. If you were to ask any of my patients they would agree I take an approach not unlike a good friend. I believe in listening and encouraging them to find the best answer for themselves.
My educational background includes a MSW from Temple University and BS of Psychology from Catawba College of North Carolina.

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.
