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.
