My counseling style is natural, holistic, and adaptable, allowing me to meet clients where they are in their personal journey. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, utilizing a blend of person-centered, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches to promote emotional well-being and resilience. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and stress management. I value authenticity and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship, helping clients identify their strengths and develop strategies for lasting positive change.

I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a minor in Art from Central Connecticut State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberland's. My mission is to empower individuals to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves—mind, body, and spirit—so they can lead balanced, purposeful, and fulfilling lives. 

Kristi participates with Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, and Husky.

Kristi provides in-person care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I also enjoy art and creative expression, photography, sculpting, and pottery, which have been a passion of mine since childhood.
