About Kristi
Hello! Whether you are struggling with something significant or just needing a little extra support, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to share your experiences as I help you navigate life’s circumstances.
I received a Masters degree in Social Work in 2008 from Indiana University and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2014 after attending The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with individuals struggling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, mood instability, challenging irrational beliefs, anxiety, history of trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, depression, intellectual disabilities, life transitions, and family conflict. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in creating skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness and life balance. I can collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care, social service agencies.
I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable; including video, phone, and text.

What clients say

- “Kristi is very kind and welcoming. She offers a wide variety of ideas to assist with the issues we are working through. She is great with meeting you where you are at on any given session. She helps me myself to remember about myself, and that is so helpful and important!”

- “My therapist, that BetterHelp chose for me, is just who I needed. She is professional and sympathetic, knowledgeable in her field and sensitive. She hears what I am saying to her, and understands at times what I cannot say in words. Her "homework" for me is extremely helpful.<br /> She has been a blessing when I need it the most, and she's teaching me how to handle anxiety and depression with a "toolbox of skills".”
- “Although Kristi and I have only had two sessions I feel that she definitely knows what she’s suggesting will help me on my way. She’s a great listener and and seems to have a vast understanding of what I’m going through mentally.”
- “Kristi is great! She always responds in a timely fashion, and has great advice and tools to help you. She was instrumental in me coming through a dark time.”
