Welcome!! My name is Kristin and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Professional Musician, and Educator at heart. My background uniquely combines Music, Education, Coaching, and Sport and Performance Psychology.

I have over 25 years of performance experience as a professional musician, 20 years of teaching experience as a music educator, with 5 years serving as a public school head orchestra director.  I have served as a guest clinician for performing arts education programs across the country and work with directors and educators to incorporate mental skills into their classroom and rehearsal spaces. I work with musicians and athletes individually and as a team to develop their performance and communication strategies.

As performing artists, we develop a unique set of skills within our studies as well as beliefs around ourselves and how we appear to others. Throughout my career, I struggled to find the right path for overcoming my performance anxiety. My training in Sport and Performance Psychology began to shed light on areas I didn’t realize I had been neglecting in the practice room. We may feel confident with our preparation in the practice room, but when we add the audience, for some reason it feels dramatically different. I want to be the resource for you that I was never able to access to help you feel your best in and out of the spotlight.

My therapeutic style is Person Centered and Eclectic, meaning I focus on the individual’s needs and blend various approaches to find the best fit through Sport and Performance Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness.

Let’s meet and find out how we can work together to help you reach your goals!
