Are you struggling with:

Feeling constantly overwhelmed
Unable to relax or your anxiety is taking control
Feeling like a stranger in your own body
Finding yourself running into the same unhelpful patterns
Feeling numbed out and uninterested in activities you normally enjoy
Unexplained physical symptoms impacting your life
Realizing that just talking about your problems doesn't bring you the relief you are seeking

This is the case for many of my clients. Through a trauma neuroscience and somatic approach to healing my goal is to help clients find relief at a neurophysiological level - change you can feel. We will go beyond traditional talk therapy to heal your symptoms. You will learn tools for emotional regulation and resilience which will help you reclaim control over your mind, body, and emotions once again.

What Clients Have Said

"My anxiety was so bad for years I was vomiting, had constant nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain, and I wasn't sleeping. After 6 months of working with Kristin, these symptoms were no longer issues for me. My anxiety is now manageable with tools like Heart Math, Breathwork, and meditation."

-client age 31

"I've never had a therapist address my PMDD, disordered eating, sensory issues, and self-harm. All alongside, deep depression, relationship chaos, and complex trauma. I honestly thought I was too F*** up. Therapy helped me start opening up to my partner, ask for help, and reach out to close friends when I need support." -client age 28

Frequently asked Questions:

Who do you work with?

I work primarily with women and adolescents who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and are eager to discover tools to help with their healing. As a licensed therapist in the state of Oregon, my virtual services allow me to work with folks across the entire state.

Do you Accept Insurance?

Current accepted health insurance plans include Pacific Source Health Plans, Aetna, and First Choice Health. If your insurance company is not listed, I can provide a monthly Superbill for you to receive reimbursement from your insurance.

How much do sessions cost?

For cash paying clients, individual psychotherapy sessions cost $160 per session. Family and couple sessions cost $180. For those who are using insurance, a copayment for each session may cost between $0 - $50 per session.

Is my privacy guaranteed in a virtual setting?

Absolutely! All the same privacy laws apply to a virtual setting as they do to in-person therapy. Our sessions will be held over a HIPPA-compliant video call tool (not Zoom!) to ensure your privacy is protected.

Is virtual therapy as helpful as in-person therapy?

While some individuals prefer in-person therapy sessions, virtual therapy can be just as beneficial while providing more flexibility. Not only are many of the therapeutic tools we’ll use as effective when done virtually, but you can also have your sessions from the comfort of your own home.
