Success in psychotherapy is based on expectations and goals set forth in treatment, on the connection I make with you. I use evidence-based practices. It is not the absence of problems that concerns me, but more importantly, it is how we respond to them because life is full of problems. I am firmly committed to working closely with all clients helping them achieve long-lasting change… I believe strongly in the capacity for change, and I use a collaborative approach to reach short and long-ter...
I help dedicated young people learn to loosen the hold of intense thoughts and anxieties to feel empowered and competent in what they do. It’s hard to get things done because of thoughts and worries that hold you back even though you know you want to let them go. And even when you do accomplish your tasks efficiently the inner toll it takes feels much greater than the task itself. Sometimes the physical toll of all this mental baggage is apparent and you feel it in your body. With dedication pra...
Therapy provides you with a safe, supportive and healing environment to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Old patterns of beliefs and the unproductive behaviors they cause limit our potential to live our happiest and fullest lives. In addition to helping the client cope with immediate distress and challenging problems, together we will explore these old patterns to discover their root causes. By doing so we unlock the potential for new ways of relating wi...

Life as a college student is supposed to be great, but at the end of the day it can really suck. Exams, studying, roommates, relationships, missing home - these are all things that can drive us crazy, not to mention any depression or anxiety that might have been hanging around before. And if you’re dealing with sexuality or gender identity issues, it can really feel difficult. If you’ve made it this far you’ve taken an awesome step towards figuring stuff out. It’s not easy to do, and therapy r...

I enjoy working with students and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship problems and stress. I accept individuals as they are with no judgement, and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach my students healthy coping mechanisms that they can use when facing life's challenges. Stress is inevitable, especially when juggling, school, work and family life, but once you have the tools needed to manage it effectively, life becomes more peaceful and easier to navigate...
How many times have you heard, “These are the best years of your life”? And who says this? [Hint: adults who went to college many years ago.] But if you ask a college student, there’s a good chance they will talk more about anxiety or depression than enjoying the best years of their life. According to the American College Health Association’s 2018 study, 63 percent of college students said they had “felt overwhelming anxiety” and more than 41 percent said they had felt so depressed that it wa...
I'm Kris. I enjoy serving clients ages 14-65. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that clients have all the wisdom and capacity to heal after traumatic experiences. With the right help, we can all tap into the power of recovery - we are our own best healer and we heal in relationship to others - not in isolation. I am formally trained in Eye Movement Densensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), DBT, IFS, and Nature-informed therapy (NIT). I received my B.A. in Legal Studies with a cert...
