Kristin received her MS in psychology with a concentration in sports psychology from California Southern University and her BA in psychology from Wheaton College. Her own transformational story of eating disorder recovery as an elite level athlete in the sport of rhythmic gymnastics propelled her into a lifelong passion of walking alongside those navigating their own recovery. Kristin desires to create a safe space where individuals can authentically be themselves as they explore their own identity, discover personal acceptance, and truly begin to believe in their own value, worth, and purpose. She approaches each session with the genuine desire to learn about each person’s unique story and support them where they are at on their journey to freedom from their eating disorder. Kristin has had the privilege of supporting individuals at the residential, PHP, IOP, and recovery coaching treatment levels since 2016, and she has been speaking on eating disorder awareness in various capacities since 2006.
