Hello, I am Tristin, and I am so happy you’re here! I work with clients of all ages and stages of life who are looking for new ways to live their lives. Many of us lose sight of our hopes, goals, and ourselves in our daily struggles, and anxiety or depression can become all too familiar. I am here to help you refocus your energy and find healthier ways to handle stress, relationships, and feelings. I enjoy utilizing an integrative approach to treatment tailored to the individual’s or couple’s needs. The various options include person-centered, dialectical-behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, Adlerian, narrative, humanistic, positive psychology, family systems, structural family, strengths-based, Gottman’s couple’s therapy (L1/L2), and culturally sensitive therapeutic approaches. Throughout our sessions we may work on healing past wounds, establishing new communication patterns, or dealing with rumination and negative thoughts. As a mixed woman, I have an awareness of various social identities that can create added pressure and hidden stress. We are continually evolving and growing, but there are times when those changes are hard to accept or feel forced upon us. So, I'm here to listen if you have felt silenced, offer validation if you have been ignored, and provide support as you begin on your new self-guided journey. Asking for help is never easy; turning the focus inward and holding yourself accountable can be equally daunting. Please know I enjoy creating a comfortable and relaxing environment, whether in-person or online. Choosing a therapist is not easy! I hope we can work together to achieve your treatment goals during this significant time in your life. Once again, I am so happy, you’re here!
