Meet Kristin

Hi, I’m Kristin! 

  • she/her

  • LGBTQ+ Affirming

  • I was born and raised in Texas, but I got to Colorado as soon as I could.

  • I love to read…I always have two books going at a time– one on audio and one I can hold!

  • I can find humor in almost anything.

  • I love my dog more than anything…oh, and I am married and have two adult children!

  • I might love coffee even more than I love my dog. 

  • I enjoy learning new things.

Qualifications:

  • I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate in Colorado and the founder of Firefly Counseling. After years of working as a school counselor, I’ve dedicated my practice to helping kids, teens, adults, and families find healing and hope.

  • I hold a Master of Education in School Counseling and also a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Additionally, I am a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) practitioner, and I approach my work through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside hundreds of kids, families, and individuals as they work toward healing and lasting change.

  • I worked as a school counselor for a decade prior to working in private practice.

Who I help

  • Kids (7+)  and teens learning to manage big emotions, anxiety, trauma, grief or ADHD

  • Adults navigating stress, depression, or trauma (including traumatic grief)

  • Families working through attachment challenges or parenting struggles

  • Adoptive families looking for support and understanding


My Approach

I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and hopeful—like you’re not carrying the weight alone. My approach is grounded in attachment theory and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). I am trained in and use Sand Tray Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy  and other therapeutic tools, depending on what works best for you. Above all, I keep therapy client-centered—you’re the expert in your own story, and I’m here to help light the way.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. Firefly Counseling is an LGBTQ+ affirming space, and I have experience supporting individuals in the trans community. I also understand and respect diverse relationship structures, and I’m here to support you in building healthy, thriving connections—whatever that looks like for you.

If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do it alone
