Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist with eight years of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical focus centers on addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and parenting challenges. I am deeply committed to helping clients work through communication difficulties, feelings of isolation, and persistent experiences of guilt and shame.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to create a safe space where individuals can explore their inner world, develop healthier coping strategies, and cultivate personal growth. I believe that every person has inherent strengths and resilience, and my role is to help you uncover and nurture these qualities.
Through evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing more meaningful connections, understanding their emotional patterns, and moving towards healing and self-acceptance. Whether you're struggling with interpersonal challenges, feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, or seeking to build emotional resilience, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

03 · What happens next
Kristin practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kristin's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kristin at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kristin is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kristin.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
