She attended Florida State University and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, with a minor in abnormal psychology. She went to the University of Central Florida and pursued a Master's of Marriage and Family Therapy. Because seven years of college was not enough, Kristin pursued her Philosophy Doctorate in General Psychology, with a dissertation that focused on the lived experiences of marriage therapists and reflecting on the impact of their work on their own marriages.

She studied under Dr. Scott Fairchild, exposing her to the veteran population and testing and report writing. Her career has focused on the promotion of wellness in various populations and with various emphases in research. She worked on a scientific study with the University of Miami and the University of Central Florida, which evaluated feasibility, effect on resistance self-efficacy, and appeal of using an avatar based virtual reality technology game (DRAMA-RAMA) as the skill building component for the Mighty Girls intervention. She is currently working with the Life Aid Research Institute to assist service members in optimizing their mental health.

Personal Message:
I am passionate about mental health. I believe that no situation is beyond repair, and that you are deserving of a good life. When it feels like we've been handed a crappy hand, learning to strategize to maximize the long game can be the best maneuver. I am not your average therapist. I know that I am not everyone's cup of tea. I embrace that and I do not apologize for what I house within me. And hopefully I will teach you to do the same. If you decide to work with me, I guarantee we will have meaningful conversation. I will provide proven strategies to assist in bringing meaningful change and removing barriers to your happiness.
