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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
