Krissy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She received her Masters of Social Welfare from the University of Kansas; and her undergraduate degree of Criminology and Sociology from the University of Montana.

She was born in Montana, and raised between Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. Through her professional career she has worked in settings of residential care for children, domestic violence centers and community based mental health services. She served on the crisis response team for many years and has since opened her private practice. Her clinical focus draws from many orientations and a holistic approach. Her treatment focuses on adults who are experiencing grief/loss and trauma, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, sexual health concerns, and relationship difficulties.

You can find Krissy in the mountains riding her mules, often volunteering for the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation in the summers. She has a passion for her animals and weight training. You will often find dogs and puppies in the office.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Individual sessions (virtual and in-person) are offered for adults. Krissy treats many mental health issues, however, she has a strong passion for treating trauma, mood disorders (depression, anxiety), women's issues (self-confidence, body dysmorphia), sexual health issues (gender identity, gender transition, sexual intimacy, sexual dysfunction) and overall life adjustment issues/concerns. There is a strong thread of existentialist philosophy (exploring a person's whole existence) in the work of therapy provided.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are offered at variable times throughout the year and co-facilitated with Kristen Enblom, LCPC addressing a variety of topics.

"Somehow, we've told people they should come to use only when they're ill, but what we actually want is for people to come to us when they start to be curious about what's happening so they can prevent the big problems." - Earnshaw
