I specialize in OCD, Anxiety & Depression. I help individuals who are stuck in a cycle of worrying and getting more caught up in preventing fears from coming true rather than actually living their lives. Are you struggling with constant thoughts about the “what ifs” or worst case scenarios in your life? Are there things that you have to do in a certain way or else it doesn’t feel right or it feels like something bad will happen? You may try to find relief and answers to your fears by searching the internet for hours or even asking for reassurance from your friends, significant other, and family constantly. I can help you. My approach encompasses understanding the root of your fears and worries and then building on ways to gradually face them. In our sessions, I teach you how to identify the unhelpful thoughts, how to sit through the physical and emotional discomfort, and learn that your worst fear may not come true or how to cope and handle it when it happens. Whether you've been in therapy for years or brand new to this experience, I want to help you meet your personal goals, better your mental health, and help you get your life back. If you're feeling isolated in your mental health, give me the opportunity to hold space for your emotions. Hello! I'm Kristin, a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's degree from Rutgers University. Working in the mental health field since 2013, I draw my expertise from clinical settings that include group homes, hospitals, public schools, higher education and private practice. I am trained in Exposure Response Prevention, but I also incorporate other modalities into my treatment such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Activation, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychoeducation depending on the problem area.
