Kristy is amazing! She truly listens to me, and together we focus on achieving my goals. I've been working with her for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with everything we’ve accomplished together.

She’s kind and attentive. She always listens and tries her best to understand the people she works with. Always trying to relate and build relationships with her patients.

in the month that I was in therapy, all I really have to say is that Kristy was always there to talk to me and she provided very healthy, supportive ways to get me through my anxiety. I still struggle with it, but she taught me how to control it better. I would highly recommend her.
