About Me
Kristin is an LCSW licensed by the state of California. She received master’s degree in social work from California State University Long Beach in 2012. She has a wealth of experience as a psychotherapist working for the state of California in various clinical social work roles. Kristin specializes in crisis and trauma with experience working in crisis stabilization units. Also, she has been a 5150 designated person for Los Angeles County, and she is an EMDR trained Therapist. Kristin is also a medical social worker, with experience working in hospice and dialysis.
Through my own struggles with depression, anxiety and trauma, I went back to school to become a Social Worker. As a Christian, it was only natural for me to incorporate my spiritual beliefs into my practice.
I am now a trauma informed therapist to assist clients in the healing process and move clients from victim to victory. I believe clients who are living with past trauma, and heavy emotions need support. I am especially helpful at helping my clients find the ground when everything feels out of control. I am ready, willing and able to support your confidence about ways to handle the turmoil that life brings.
I offer on-line therapy sessions. I use Christian Counseling, EMDR, Mindfulness, TF-CBT, CBT, Psychodynamic and Bereavement Counseling to support solution-oriented conversations.
If you are battling a lack of connection, motivation, sadness, negative thinking, racing thoughts, anxiety, or depression I am sure we can find your best answers together.
I became a mental health provider to witness people grow. If you are looking for an experienced therapist who is caring and compassionate, please contact me. I am certain that when we modify our thinking, we improve our quality of life.

You may shoot me with your words,
you may cut me with your eyes,
you may kill me with your hatefulness,
but still, like air, I'll rise!
