Client feedback

"Kristy is an incredibly kind, thoughtful and patient therapist. She gave me tools that I could use immediately and they worked great. Her analogies in session were spot on and easily relatable. She helped me open up about my own insecurities and made me feel comfortable in the way I felt." -J.S., Carlsbad

"I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and it was all because of Kristy's support. She is a wonderful therapist. Thank you!!" -M.D., Encinitas

"Kristy is extremely kind and caring. She was super helpful to me while I was going through a difficult time in my marriage. She was always a great listener and gave me great tools and advice that was relevant and practical. She also introduced me to EMDR, which helped me really work through issues that I had a hard time getting over. While, sadly, I had to move to another state and stop seeing Kristy, I continue to do EMDR as it has helped me not feel as anxious." – M.L., Minneapolis

"Kristy completely changed my outlook on therapy. After being the victim of childhood sexual trauma and abuse, I was left with intense PTSD. The flashbacks, anxiety, and fear were nothing short of a living nightmare. Kristy's care and EMDR techniques changed my life for the best. I highly recommend her services for anyone experiencing ANY type of trauma." -J.R., Vista

“Meeting and working with Kristy has been one of the most important and beneficial decisions of my life. As a Veteran, I’ve seen serval therapist for myself and my relationships, but none have matched her ability to listen and to ask the right questions in order to understand my perspective. She’s provided me with coping tools and life changing reading materials that has truly empowered me and changed my outlook on how I handle my own thoughts and relationships. I firmly believe that she has helped me identify and break generational trauma that has been limiting my happiness. Thank you for all that you’ve done and continue to do for others.” -J.J., Oceanside

"Before meeting Kristy I was barely surviving and I didn't have any hope. Past abuse and trauma kept me occupied with anxiety, depression and dissociation. Fear was my normal, even after seeing many therapists. The coping skills I had been taught didn't work for me. I tried hard not to let PTSD control my life, but nearly in all regards it did. Barely surviving, the thought of possibly thriving one day had honestly never crossed my mind. However, when I met Kristy, the possibilities and the hopes I had for myself began to change. From my first appointment, she articulated hopes and beliefs in myself and held onto them until I could hold them one day. (continued on next section ->)

Today, I am hopeful for my present and future and do trust Kristy through this journey. She is authentic and very intelligent. Having so many therapists, she has been the first I am comfortable with. Her style invites you to relax, is calming and very present every step of the way. Since starting EMDR with Kristy I no longer experience constant and frequent dissociation. In combination with the coping skills I learn during our sessions, I am emotionally the best I've ever been in my entire life. Through the low moments, I am equipped with tools that I have witnessed on multiple occasions to work. I am personally inspired by Kristy's work and it is refreshing to know she is such a game changer for people like myself." –A.R., Carlsbad
