She is certified as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Registered Play Therapist. Kristin is also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and is also a certified EMDR Consultant. She served on the board of the High Plains chapter for the Texas Association for Play Therapy as their President. Kristin has worked with many different populations during her time as a counselor. She has experience in the field of addictions working with addicts and their families. She then moved to working as a member of the crisis team before stepping into private practice. This is where she began to work with children and her love of play therapy grew. After serving these populations, she realized there was a need for trauma therapy and sought out training in EMDR therapy to aid clients dealing with past and present traumas. She continues to integrate EMDR into the many different modalities she uses with adults and children.
