I work with high-functioning people who are quietly overwhelmed inside — the ones managing everyone else's needs while their own goes unattended. If your life looks fine but feels like bracing, performing, or waiting for the other shoe to drop, you're who I love working with. My focus is the gap between the self you present and who you actually are -where that split came from and what it's costing you. Whether it shows up as people-pleasing, over-functioning, anxious attachment, family wounds, or a nervous system stuck "on," we go after the root, not just the symptom.

Hi, I am so glad you found me here today, and are taking the next step! I’m KrisAnn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and couples navigating cancer, chronic illness, grief, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. I founded Curveball Counseling to offer a steady, compassionate space where people can make sense of what they’re going through and regain their sense of stability and direction.

My professional background includes extensive work in oncology and medical settings, where I’ve supported patients, caregivers, and families through some of life’s most uncertain seasons. Alongside my clinical training, these experiences shaped my deep respect for the resilience people carry—even when they feel overwhelmed.
