Hi, I’m Kristin, a mental health counselor with a background in social work.
After half a lifetime of navigating hard times, I care deeply about helping other people make sense of their experiences and implement changes in ways that feel both meaningful and manageable. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University–Idaho and my Master of Social Work from Boise State University, focusing on clinical mental health.
My experience includes work across a range of behavioral health settings in both community and university environments, including supporting clients at the Boise State Counseling Center. There, I supported individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and complex emotional seasons. I’ve also helped develop mental health resources and reflection tools to assist people in understanding themselves and applying what they’re learning in practical ways. I have a special interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals and helping clients better understand their patterns, strengths, and needs in clear, accessible ways.
I am a certified TEAM-CBT therapist. I take a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while we build insight, strengthen motivation, and develop tools that support lasting change.
Outside of work, my life is full in the best ways possible. I spend most of my time with my husband and our five daughters, and our days are often a mix of busy schedules, meaningful conversations, and plenty of humor and chaos. This season of my life has taught me flexibility, patience, and an appreciation for the small moments. I also enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, going to concerts, visiting Disneyland, and creating lasting family traditions.
I’m passionate about creating a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and less alone. Whether you’re facing something specific or simply feel ready for change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as we explore the paths you hope to travel.
