About me

Hello! My name is Kristin and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (with Mental Health Service Provider designation) in the state of Tennessee. I received my Master of Education degree, specializing in Mental Health Counseling, in 2013. My personal background consists of surviving domestic violence and narcissistic abuse. I have been providing individual counseling since 2012, with an empathic and validating focus on the individual. I am LGBTQIA+ and Gender Accepting and Affirming. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and perspectives. I do not provide counseling from a Christian based perspective. I have been trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and many trauma informed techniques, which I pull from to create an eclectic therapy experience. Former clients have told me that I really listen, and am highly sensitive to their concerns, which are the highest compliments that I have ever received. I find joy in assisting my clients with alleviating trauma symptoms, recognizing harmful family patterns and uncovering individual strengths. My "niche" is working with neurodivergent people who have experienced narcissistic abuse to help them cultivate a sense of self and create inner safety. Therapy is at your pace since proper healing is not on a timeline. We will work together to uncover deep rooted trauma, staying sensitive to your healing needs.

Per state licensing regulations, I am only able to practice in the state of Tennessee, with residents who physically reside in the state of Tennessee. This means that if you are on vacation in another state, we cannot begin counseling services until you are physically back in the state of Tennessee. BetterHelp is not a crisis platform or replacement for crisis services.

For Crisis in Tennessee: call 855-274-7471 or text “TN” to 741-741. If you are in need of housing and other immediate assistance, please reach out to your local county department for social services, or other community resources. Please keep this in mind when choosing me as your therapist.

Kristen is a great listener but also very skilled at reflecting back truths that may not be apparent to you. She has a very empathetic manner, but is also helpful with practical implementation ideas if you desire them. She will meet you where you are and go alongside you for your journey. She’s made me feel understood and helped me understand myself better.

She is very understanding and easy to open up to. She also creates therapy that works best for me and is patient when trying to figure out what will work best for me

I’ve gone through three different therapists on BetterHelp, and Kristin is by far the best I’ve come across. She is the first one I’ve encountered that has actually listened to me and challenged my way of thinking. Just in a few short sessions, I was able to talk about things that I’ve never talked about. She’s great at her job, and genuinely cares about what she’s doing. Talking to her does not feel like a therapy session, it feels like you’re talking to a friend. Look no further than Kristin.
