Kristin is committed to lifelong learning, professional development, attending workshops, and collaborative discussions to refine her skills. She is dedicated to cultural humility and inclusivity, striving to understand the diverse backgrounds of her clients, and incorporating this awareness into her work. She understands how cultural and systematic factors influence mental health, and she strives to understand and respect the diverse backgrounds and identities of all clients. As she continues to grow in her practice, she aims to refine her skills to build strong therapeutic relationships, and support clients to achieve meaningful change and personal growth.
