"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." - C.G. Jung (Memories, Dreams, Reflections).

I work with individuals from the general population, supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. My approach is integrative, drawing from solution-focused, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapies to help clients gain insight and build on their existing strengths. I strive to empower clients to look within, reconnect with their inner resources, and move toward meaningful change.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and as an MFT Trainee, it’s an honor to walk alongside you. This space is entirely yours—whether you need to cry and process or want a focused space to navigate anxiety and depression. I provide an LGBTQIA+ affirming and feminist environment that is always safe, welcoming, and moves at your own pace.

Life can come with many challenges that can feel daunting, but you never have to manage them alone. Therapy is a space where someone else can sit with you when things get overwhelming, and help you to navigate life’s obstacles with confidence.

Many of us were never taught how to understand or regulate our emotions, yet those emotions shape our relationships and the way we move through life. I enjoy helping clients build self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships.

Hey everyone! I’m Kristie, and I’m a trainee professional clinical counselor (PCC) here at Life Source. I believe that therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or intimidating. I like to keep it real, compassionate, honest, and human.
