About me

Hello, my name is Kristy. I have been a licensed clinical professional counselor for over 25 years. Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone also has encountered struggle of some type.. I use primarily solution focused techniques and my faith to help individuals, couples and families find help and feel empowered.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes a great deal of courage to take that first step to reach out and ask for help when going through struggles and attempting to make life changes. I commend you for taking that step and I look forward to hearing your story.

Since the first time I meet and talked with her I knew Kristy was the one for me! I didn’t even know I had the courage to really think about where my life was headed and resolution’s to get myself on the right track! Kristy is very compassionate and listens to concerns that I have. I can’t thank her enough for being there for me!!

Kristy is knowledgeable, supportive and kind. She challenges me to think and entertain other alternatives to my actions. Kristy is also a Christian and prays with me, which is what I requested.
