Hello
I’m Kristy, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a certified PCIT International Therapist, Qualified Supervisor, and Licensed Exceptional Student Educator with the state of Florida. I have 18 years of experience in the school system working with a variety of ages, and 10 years of experience as a mental health therapist while doing Supervisory work for other therapists. I have worked with childhood behavioral issues, Autism, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, and Addiction.
My therapy approach is “coming home to yourself.” That means being authentic to your true self, valuing your own ideas, and developing trust to allow yourself to love yourself.
I believe in compassion, but with boundaries. I believe in focusing on attachment styles and how our past shapes our present selves. I also believe that all are capable of redemption. I have taken courses in Meditation, and believe that nature and art are both very important tools to incorporate into therapy.
If your young child has behavioral issues, I can help by utilizing PCIT therapy. I am trained to treat OCD using ERP for all ages. I offer appointments on Saturdays both online and in-person, and support all ages.
With me, there's no judgement, just compassion. Because you have held the power all along!
