Hi! I’m Kristie. I truly believe every single person is going to have a multitude of experiences throughout their life, both positive and negative, and I value the importance of making sure that we take care of our brains as well as our bodies during both of those times. I realize how beneficial an affirming therapist is, and my goal is to be that person. A large part of therapy includes the relationship and rapport between a client and their therapist. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment that is inclusive for everybody to feel understood, heard, accepted, and validated. I use a person-centered and collaborative approach while incorporating various techniques and modalities based on what each individual needs at that time. Therapy is not a one size fits all deal, and no two people will have the exact same needs during therapy (which is a good thing). I am passionate about working with a variety of diverse populations, with the majority including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent adolescents and young adults.
I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2020 with my bachelor’s degree where I double majored in Social Work and Communication. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2023 with my Masters in Social Work. In my free time I love to do photography, go on nature walks, draw, paint, do some yoga, and find new recipes to cook.
If you think we might be a good fit for therapy, please reach out and we can set up a consultation!
