Meet Kris – Therapist for Healing, Growth, and Connection

I’m Kris, a therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, and life transitions. Whether you're a teenager navigating overwhelming emotions, a young adult exploring your identity, or a couple trying to reconnect, I bring a compassionate and direct approach to help you move toward healing.

I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds and tailor my approach to meet each person's unique needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling, with internship training that focused on working with children and adolescents. I’m particularly passionate about supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the formation of their identity, emotional regulation, and shifting relationships.

For adults, therapy can be a space to untangle long-standing patterns, reconnect with your values, and find greater ease in daily life. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, grieving a loss, or navigating life transitions, I offer a non-judgmental space where you can reflect, grow, and develop practical coping tools. We’ll work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to yourself and others.

My style is integrative and responsive, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches allow me to support diverse clients, whether we’re working on emotion regulation, navigating inner conflicts, reframing negative thought patterns, or finding strengths to move forward.

I’m also trained in spiritual approaches and can incorporate meaning-making, mindfulness, and inner wisdom into our work if that aligns with your values.

Above all, I believe that therapy should be a safe, collaborative, and empowering experience. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to walk with you as you take steps toward healing and wholeness.

I accept Aetna, Capital Blue Cross, Highmark, and Luminare insurances, and also welcome self-pay clients.
