Kristi holds a Bachelor of Religious Education, with experience in both church and the non-profit sector. After serving as a director of youth services at an afterschool drop-in center, Kristi transitioned to adoptive motherhood. From this experience she gained a wealth of knowledge in attachment and trauma-informed practices. Kristi is passionate about helping people understand and overcome the impacts of traumatic experiences. She desires to create a safe, empowering space to support healing and growth. 

Kristi takes a person-centered approach, believing that each person is the expert on their own lives. She desires to help clients regulate, form deeper attachments, and disrupt negative patterns of thinking/relating. Kristi prefers an integrative approach, combining various techniques from different approaches to best fit the client. She utilizes both bottom-up approaches, like mindfulness and somatic body awareness, to help clients get in tune with what their bodies might be telling them, and top-down approaches like emotional processing and thought journalling, to help clients get in tune with their patterns of thinking/feeling. Kristi is dedicated to creating an affirming, culturally sensitive, and inclusive space for all people.
