Greetings, I am a therapist in private practice for over fifteen years. I am dually licensed as a mental health therapist and an addictions therapist.

I am excited to help guide you along your journey. I enjoy observing the transformation that occurs in my clients lives over time. Perhaps your seeking a deeper understanding of your emotions or simply a feeling of peace and contentment. Changes can occur through therapy. Lets collaborate and discuss your goals that support the life your are seeking to change or improve.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and feeling truly heard. It is when people feel truly heard that true healing begins. My name is Kris and I want my clients to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. I strive to create a safe space where you don't have to navigate feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or major life changes alone. I have been in the Social Work field for over 30 years, with a primary focus in therapy for the last seven years. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Focused Therapy and relationship-focused interventions, allowing me to tailor therapy to each individual client and their goals.

I specialize in Addiction, Anxiety, Depression and Grief.

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Delaware and Iowa. I earned my doctorate (Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology) from the Fuller School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with diverse populations in the East Coast, Midwest, and Los Angeles area in a variety of settings, such as outpatient behavioral agencies, a psychiatric hospital focusing on chemical dependency, a university counseling center, and a school district.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide variety of concerns. My clinical interests include anxiety and mood disorders, trauma recovery, grief and loss, family of origin issues, ADHD, relational distress, perfectionism, cross-cultural adjustments, and spirituality.
