Counseling Approach
Kristin has a heart to meet with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults as they deal with anxiety, depression, major life decisions, stress management, and emotional regulation. 

Kristin seeks to use an integrative approach in her counseling. She utilizes therapeutic approaches from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy and more. Through getting to know and connecting with clients she hopes to identify an approach that best meets each client’s needs. She would love to provide Christian counseling upon request.


Education and Training
Kristin earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Abilene Christian University and is currently working towards her master’s in education in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling at Lamar University. She is a member of the American Counseling Association and Phi Kappa Pi Honor Society. 

Background and Experience
The last eleven years Kristin has spent working in early childhood education in various roles as well as volunteering in her church in the children’s and youth ministry. Through her work with children and youth and continued training in child development, Kristin’s desire to help individuals of all ages as they deal with mental health grew. Kristin has previously worked in missions and has had the opportunity to travel, live, and serve in several different countries. 

Kristin has been married to her husband for 16 years and is the mother to three busy children. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, reading, cooking, playing games and traveling with her family. 

Personal Statement
I have always loved to listen to people share their stories. To me, counseling is about walking alongside someone as they process and explore what is going on in their lives helping them to feel safe, seen and heard. It is easy to feel stuck and I want to be someone who holds the lantern as you process what is going on and take steps forward to a healthier you. I truly believe in the transforming work of the Gospel and seeing each person as a whole person created in the image of God. Through exploring the physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual aspects of each person I believe we can work towards wholeness and enjoy life to the full.
