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.

“Great therapy sessions with wonderful interactions and helpful homework.”

“Kristin is so understanding and I am very grateful to have met such an attentive and adaptable therapist. In our short time together she has already been such a great help to me, and I look forward to continuing work with her!”

“I’ve been working with Kristin for about four months. She has helped me in every area of my life that I needed help in and I feel like I am safe and able to open up to her without feeling judged or worrying about it being “too much”. She always answers me back in a timely fashion and is always giving me new ways to deal with my traumas”

“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”

“Kristin is an incredible listener and gives very poignant feedback. I leave every session feeling heard and feeling better. I would strongly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a caring and empathetic therapist.”

“Kristin is wonderful. She is patient and kind and helps me feel validated. She has helped me learn to take care of myself. I'm happy to have her on this journey to learning to love myself for who I am.”

“Got lucky with a great therapist! She has definitely helped me while I was struggling and continues to help me go in the right direction!”

“Kristin has been supportive and understanding. Being a new client, I truly appreciate her help.”
