About Kristin
I am licensed in New Jersey with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, & intimacy related issues (i.e. sexual dysfunction, intimacy concerns, kink and BDSM, and polyamory). I am passionate about creating a safe and inclusive space for my clients to explore their sexuality without judgment. My approach is holistic, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a deep understanding of sexual diversity and the importance of open, honest communication. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

- “Kristin has been amazing so far. I love how she tackles couples therapy and that she can totally see both sides. The strategies she puts in place has been super helpful and realistic. I appreciate that me and my partner can both feel heard and supported in her sessions so thank you Kristin”
- “She is attentive, listens to both sides for couples therapy, and has great insight after considering both sides. Therapy with Kristin has brought me and my partner closer, we are learning new skills, and we are so grateful.”
- “I’ve had two video sessions with Kristin and have messaged her a bunch of times. She always answers in a timely manner and offers a different insight to my problems. Her specializing in LGBTQIA issues also is helpful as some of my trauma involves a same-sex relationship. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had a therapist I actually felt was helping”
