About Kristie

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

–  C.G. Jung

“We are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being. As the gods intended, we are here to become more and more ourselves.”

James Hollis

My work is holistic and relational while weaving together modalities including Jungian depth psychology, attachment theory, psychodynamic, family systems, expressive arts, parts work as well as trauma informed care.

Populations I Work With

My holistic approach works well with diverse populations including artists and creatives, parents, the existentially unrested, teenagers and adults embarking on the journey of self-discovery to cultivate more meaning, joy, and purpose in their lives. 

My clinical background includes working with teenagers, individuals, and couples, as well as those struggling with substance use disorders and dual diagnosis in a high-intensity outpatient environment. Additionally, I have served as a group facilitator for adults in a similar setting, where I’ve observed the significant impact that community-based work can have.

Areas of Interest

My areas of interest encompass the burgeoning domain of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, transpersonal experiences, and the role of creativity in the healing process. I also resonate with the poetic, contemplative, and mystical traditions, along with Eastern yogic practices and Shamanism.
