"You've always had the power, my dear."

We often search outside ourselves for answers, looking for maps to navigate life's complexities.
Yet like Dorothy, we eventually discover that our deepest wisdom lies within.

I’m Kristin.

I work with people looking to cultivate clarity and create change for themselves—whether they're starting their professional journey, navigating leadership challenges, or seeking deeper alignment in their personal lives. Drawing from both clinical psychology and organizational experience, I see how our inner landscape shapes every aspect of how we move through the world.

My approach weaves together individual insight and practical wisdom, recognizing that meaningful change happens when we truly understand ourselves. Whether in the quiet space of therapy or the complex dynamics of organizations, I help people discover their capacity for growth and authentic connection.

Understanding Ourself Matters:

Self-awareness isn't just insight—it's the lens that brings both challenges and opportunities into focus. When we see ourselves clearly, we recognize our role in dynamics at work and home, understand our impact on others, and discover new possibilities for change. Research confirms what experience shows: self-aware individuals are more confident, creative, and effective in both leadership and communication.
