About Me

I’m Kristin. I work with adult individuals who are questioning the harmful systems they’ve been subjected to, resulting in identity transformation. If that sounds like you, chances are you know the pain of being held at arms length by the friends and family who used to embrace you. Exile, whether it’s physical or emotional, is such a lonely place to be. I love helping my clients welcome home all their exiled parts, equipping them to live integrated, authentic lives.

Your exile might look like:

  • Working through crisis of faith and/or faith deconstruction

  • Unmasking after a recent Autism or ADHD diagnosis

  • Naming the harmful impact of a narcissistic relationship

  • Reclaiming your nervous system after suffering with PTSD or C-PTSD

  • Saying goodbye to relentless people-pleasing and the anxiety that accompanies it

  • Reconnecting with and embodying desire

The belonging you’re looking for can be found when you come home to yourself. Together, let’s create the roadmap that helps get you there.

My MA is in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Trauma and Abuse from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. I offer EMDR and have completed Level II training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care with The Allender Center. I am trained psychodynamically and enjoy bringing depth and attachment theories to my work, along with Internal Family Systems and somatic practices. My work considers how systems impact lives just as much as a person’s personal experiences. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) and my license number is MC61422549. I receive supervision from B Lourenco (WA License #LH61021467), a Washington state approved clinical supervisor.

...exile is an important and necessary separation from the group or society, meant to bring us into relationship with our resilience and originality.
