She is genuinely one in a million. I’ve had so many therapists that just didn’t get me and from the first session I felt seen in a whole new way. She’s helped me overcome so much anxiety and given me ways to manage my OCD which have given me my life and peace back. So, so grateful for her she really cares and is incredible at her job. Would recommend to anyone.

She is an amazingly understanding and insightful human being. Her talents as a therapist and her approachable and kind manner makes each discussion with her a joy.

Kristin is sharp, empathetic, validating and so kind. She really goes above and beyond!! She's the therapist I needed to have!! She's action oriented and helps me so much when I fail to identify the words myself (scripts to practice). She cares! I'm beyond grateful of the impact she's had in my life, the depth of insights she has brought, and most importantly, the changes she was able to instill in me to make me realize I love me, I deserve better, and I choose me!! She's also very well researched and shared knowledge I could not "google" myself, something I was really looking for. She's made such an impact so far in a short few months, I look forward to having a fulfilled life with the tools she imparts. You'll be so lucky if you get to cross paths with her! Life changing truly.

The heartfelt conversations during our sessions have been nothing short of amazing, creating a safe and open space for self-reflection and growth.
Kristin's willingness to explain and share insights has been instrumental in enhancing my understanding of myself and improving my relationship with the world around me. Her guidance and expertise have played a crucial role in my ongoing journey of self-discovery, personal improvement, relationship and bonding with my loved ones.
I am truly grateful to have come across Kristin and feel fortunate to continue on the path of self-discovery and growth with her by my side. Her compassionate and insightful approach has made a significant positive impact on my life, and I look forward to the continued progress and transformation that our sessions bring.
Thank you, Kristin, for your dedication, empathy, and invaluable support.

She is authentic, empathetic, warm, and smart, witty, has a deep bank of knowledge to draw from, is skilled with a variety of approaches, and is fun to work with even with difficult subject matter. A really good match for me, a person with a little trauma and anxiety, she makes me feel safe to be honest with and gives me interesting aha moments to think about, plus creative strategies for implementing change.

Kristin has to be one of the most understanding people I have ever known. She also relays real life scenarios and experiences that help add perspective, and realism, to the conversations we have.

Kristin has been a wonderful therapist for me to stand on my feet and focus on my most essential self. I really appreciate her professional and relaxing sessions and I cannot thank her enough for giving me this much power and self-compassion in such a short amount of time. I highly recommend her.

Kristin is an extremely knowledgeable therapist. She helped me with sleep troubles, anxiety issues, work concerns, and a litany of other things. She seems to know about any subject

What I gained from this experience was monumental. KL is the most amazing, well-informed and supportive therapist and someone I am also grateful to have found a friend in. She changed my life, helped me navigate through different issues I was going through and I am genuinely a new person now, a better person, to myself and to those in my life. To be matched with KL as your therapist is truly a blessing and I know she will lead others to success as she has been doing with me. I will be forever grateful for our professional time together.

Kristin was fantastic, very quick to analyze my concerns and current issues. Explained things in great detail and gave both a mental but also logical explanation of how certain issues I've been experiencing have effected me. Would certainly reccomend!

Kristen is great, I feel like she applied to the needs I was seeking when looking for a therapist. We shared common interests; mores in the sense of how our brains works instead of what normal people think are cool. How our brain breaks down things and she talked about that; was real intriguing.

Kristin is amazing. She has allowed me to open up in many different ways I never thought possible. It’s been so freeing and it’s all thanks to Kristin! She makes you feel so comfortable, understood and important. I highly recommend therapy sessions with Kristin!

KL has been amazing! I’m so glad we matched! She is very encouraging, relatable, and professional! I got to learn a lot, understand my thoughts and feeling are valid and she suggested practical ways I could improve. I’ve noticed a lot of personal growth and just want to say thank you! Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed with this therapist.

It is such a blessing that I found Kristin. After many years of struggling with understanding what ADHD really is (or even fully believing that it exists,) Kristin came through like a light shining through a dark place. She has an amazing amount of knowledge in all things ADHD and helped me to understand not only the biology and chemistry of how my ADHD brain and medication work, but also how to manage my issues on a very practical level, all while showing a huge amount of empathy and compassion. Thank you Kristin for helping me get my life back in order! Highly recommended to others who are struggling with their ADHD

She is very relatable and is open to sharing her challenges and experience about her own mental health experience and it's good to know that because me as a client can feel comfortable being open and bring to attention some of the things that I struggle that would be hard to share with others.

I have only had a few sessions with KL, but I have appreciated the ease I experience in speaking with her due to her warm and open nature. I feel the ability to speak easily and openly as I do with an old friend, while also receiving an unbiased perspective and wise advice from an expert. I look forward to continuing my therapy journey with KL.
