I am licensed in Tennessee with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety/depression, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem/confidence, and addiction. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, but everyone deserves individualized treatment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I specialize in trauma approaches such as trauma focused CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitization.) I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Kristy is just wonderful. She is professional and kind and asks the best questions to really get me thinking. I didn’t know what to expect going into this but she has really been more helpful than express. I highly recommend working with her.
