➕ More from Kristin
Taking a systemic approach to therapy, I aim to understand my clients in the context of their various environments and relationships. Together, we will identify strengths, barriers and goals to determine the direction of our sessions.
Once a therapeutic relationship is established, I work with the client to target identified issues. Family involvement is of the utmost importance, and I encourage all members of the family system to be part of the therapeutic process. Through compassion and warmth, I provide a safe environment for clients.
My areas of expertise include behavioral issues, Autism, developmental delays, poor self esteem, attachment issues, trauma, anxiety and depression.
