More about Kristine

I have studied and worked in the mental health field for over a decade. I received my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology and Master’s of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling–both from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Alabama.

I have worked in the field of psychiatric research for 8 years coordinating clinical trials focusing on Major Depression, Treatment Resistant Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and suicide in both adolescents and adults.

I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I have also received training in behavioral neurobiology–understanding how our brain works at a more nuanced, biological level and how our neurobiology influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I have experience providing individual counseling to adolescents, teens, and young adults as well as providing group and individual career counseling to teens and adults with mental and physical disabilities.
