Hi, I’m Kristy (she/her)…
Welcome. I’m glad you are here. Here is a quick rundown of who I am professionally and what I offer.
I am a licensed clinical social worker.
I have a master’s degree in social work, have completed the required hours, and have passed the necessary exams to be an independent mental health professional and supervise others pursuing their licensure.
I specialize in cancer.
I have over 15 years of experience working with people, as well as their loved ones, who've had a diagnosis of cancer or a genetic mutation that increases their risk of cancer. Although I have not had a cancer diagnosis myself, I have been affected by this disease as a caregiver and friend.
I am holistic.
I integrate holistic practices with the people I work with. I'm certified as a yoga teacher, and reiki practitioner, and like to blend Eastern and Western approaches to wellness.
I am an advocate.
I am dedicated to supporting marginalized communities by recognizing their struggles and advocating for their rights. I firmly believe in respect, fairness, and inclusion.
I love to teach and mentor.
I teach continuing education classes and present at conferences. I provide supervision and anxiety-reduction support for licensing exam preparation.

individual psychotherapy
support group facilitation
