Helping people to navigate life's complexities, reconnect with meaning, and find language for their experiences are passions for Kristi-Anna. She is sincere, down-to-earth, and a careful listener. Cancer (patients & family members), grief, navigating change, and making sense of the past and present are areas she often works with. She also helps clients who are contemplating whether or not to remain in present situations, including relationships, jobs, or educational trajectories, where people can sometimes feel stuck, constricted, or on auto-pilot. Her approach is humanistic, trauma-sensitive, and non-pathologizing.

Kristi-Anna's training and professional experiences in cancer care, hospital, intensive care, rural medicine, and inpatient mental health settings have helped her to understand and appreciate the interconnection between the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of people.
