"Hi, I’m Kristoffer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience helping adults and couples work through PTSD, substance use, anxiety, mood disorders, and major life transitions. I’m here to support you in making real, lasting changes, whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to start healing. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and build a path forward that feels aligned with your values and priorities.
In our sessions, I create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and empowered. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide growth and healing at a pace that feels right for you.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and served in the U.S. Army, an experience that deepened my commitment to service and resilience. I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health settings. If you're ready to build a healthier, stronger future, I’d be honored to support you."
