About

Hello! My name is Kristin and I am somatic counselor and coach.

I have been practicing counseling for 6 years. I have my Master of Science in Counseling from Missouri State University and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a type of somatic approach that treats trauma.

The focus of what I offer is to invite and empower you to practice trusting the wisdom of your body. By doing this, a more secure and trusting relationship with yourself can begin to develop. In time, this can help you to navigate stressors and aid you in trauma recovery. A person generally finds relief, compassion, and an empowered sense of self from this process.

I practice from a somatic (body-listening) approach. Together we begin naming and recognizing your nervous system states, develop safety resources along with resilience and self-regulation skills, notice internal sensations to more listen and attend to your needs, and hold space for your body to complete natural somatic stress release cycles.

Ask me any questions about this process you may have. I enjoy meeting with those interested in working together.

Warmly,
Kristin
