I'm Kristin

Master of Social Work - UNC Chapel Hill

Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology - Simmons University

As a queer person of color, I am deeply committed to co-creating spaces that are LGBTQIA+ affirming & anti-racist. I know how important these spaces are, & how difficult they can be to access. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults and have eight years of clinical experience; five years of experience providing therapy.

Most of my work has been supporting predominantly queer and trans clients and people of color, adoptees, & larger-bodied clients. My work with clients primarily draws from liberation psychology and mindfulness. I also bring my values of anti-oppression, Health at Every Size, and Disability Justice to my work.

My therapy style is primarily relational, and combines narrative & feminist techniques to support clients in understanding their stories & embracing being an expert in their own lives. I have extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also have training in Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems. What this means is that my approach is holistic and it utilizes the mind-body connection. I look forward to meeting you!
