Meet Kristin!

Licensed Professional Counselor

If you are thinking of working on yourself and creating more balance, I’m here to assist. I’ve been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona for 10+ years.

I started my journey as a therapist in a non-profit agency working with children and families. I began with adolescents, and eventually, my caseload slowly grew to include younger children. As I was doing more and more continuing education in play therapy, family dynamics, and art therapy, I found that the trauma that these clients were facing was the root of their struggles. Then, I found EMDR.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was the most stimulating training I had ever been a part of and the first where I had the therapy done on me. With this new-found therapy, I decided to move my skills to adults, and I wanted to work with adults suffering from trauma.

I started working at different inpatient psychiatric hospitals and began working with active military, veterans, and their families in an inpatient setting. I was working as the lead clinician in an inpatient 30-day rehabilitation for active duty military and veterans.

When I finally reached my independent licensure, I became a Clinical Director for a clinic that specialized in DUI, Domestic Violence, and Anger Management for court-ordered treatment. This position allowed me to work with clinicians and supervise others. I was able to apply my long history of family dynamics, trauma, and mental illness to the criminal system and help clients who were working towards a second chance.

I decided to branch out and join a private practice with a team of psychiatrists that focus on trauma therapy for children and adults.

Mindful Counseling and Supervision PLLC was born with the love of helping others and my colleagues. The ultimate goal is to provide worry-free counseling and supervision to others who are struggling to find the time they need to invest in themselves.

If you are looking for a judgment-free zone and a place to provide comfort and assistance with meeting your personal goals, let’s work on being balanced together.

If you are a brand-new therapist right out of school or a seasoned therapist looking to make your own clinic, I’m here to provide guidance and balance to your current career progression. Let’s be professionally balanced together.
