Does this sound like you?
You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing. So why does it feel like you're barely keeping your shit together?
Everyone needs something from you.
Your brain never shuts off.
You're exhausted but can't seem to relax.
You snap—and then feel guilty about snapping.
You don't remember the last time you felt completely like yourself.
You're really good at telling everyone you're fine.
You don't have to wait until you're falling apart to ask for help.
Hi, I’m Kris
I'm not a smile-and-nod therapist.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Nearly two decades of experience. Mom. Human.
Therapy with me is direct, warm, honest, and occasionally funny because sometimes life is fucking ridiculous.
You don't have to perform here. You don't have to have the right words. And you definitely don't need to have your shit together.
Therapy where you don't have to perform.
No judgment.
No pretending everything is fine.
No therapist staring at you and asking, "And how does that make you feel?" for 50 minutes. 😂
We'll understand what's happening and work on what to do with it.
There's room for tears, laughter, anger, swearing, grief, relief—and whatever else shows up.
Trauma-informed • Person-centered • Strengths-based
