About Kristy

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, but even more importantly, I am a wife of 19 years and mother to three children. I am a strong believer and proponent of putting family first, and therefore spend most of my free time with them! We love family movie nights, listening to music together, and lazy weekend days with no actual plans. 

I grew up in south Florida and knew from a young age that I wanted to work in mental health. I was a “peer counselor” in middle school and the passion was ignited and grew from there. I attended the University of Florida for my undergraduate studies, and Florida State University for my Master’s program.

I have had the privilege of working in a wide variety of mental health settings, including hospitals, non-profits, public schools, and private practices. I have worked with all ages, ranging from young children to older adults.

In addition to my passion for my work, I have so many other interests! I really love and appreciate great music. While I am not a musician myself, I grew up surrounded by musical family members, who really fostered a love for all types of music. I do have a number one favorite artist, though, whom I have seen in concert so many times I have lost count — Billy Joel! I believe music can be very therapeutic, reducing stress and enhancing our mood. I also love exercising and try to move my body in some way every day. Another great mood booster! Finally, I have a love and passion for snow skiing, something I took on in adulthood (non-skier who married a skier!) and fell in love quickly. As a Floridian, to spend time in the snowy mountains is truly special and I always feel a deep sense of gratitude when I am able to ski.

That’s a little about me. I look forward to getting to know you.
