Offering Experiential & CBT Therapy in Gillette

About Me
Hi, I’m Kristi—your Gillette neighbor for over 40 years. I’ve spent 16 years in a classroom, teaching agriculture and working side-by-side with teens and fellow educators. I get the burnout. I know the pressure. And I can help.
My journey into therapy began with CASA (now VAC), moved through play therapy, school-based emotional regulation groups, and addiction recovery programs. All of that prepared me for this: offering counseling that hits home.
My mission is to provide compassionate support, empowering you to live authentically.
Why I Do This Work
I believe everyone deserves to thrive.
I bring heart, experience, and a healthy dose of practicality.
Your growth is our shared mission—and it starts with real connection.
What I Offer
I specialize in experiential therapy, which focuses on engaging clients through active and interactive techniques. This approach helps you explore your feelings, behaviors, and experiences in a dynamic and meaningful way.
Therapy Styles I Use
Experiential Therapy | Hands-on exercises that help you truly feel and process—beyond just talking.
|
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) | Simple tools to reframe thoughts, regain control, and build momentum.
|
Others (Motivational Interviewing, Chairwork, Person-Centered, Strengths-Based) | Approaches tailored to who you are and what you need to move forward.
