Kristy lives in the Appalachian Mountains of northeast Georgia where she maintains a full-time private practice. She specializes in working with trauma, attachment, and creativity, with a special interest in Brainspotting and Creative Writing. 

In her spare time Kristy is a poet, and her poetry appears or is forthcoming in a variety of national and international online and print journals and anthologies. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee and a 2023 recipient of the Small Orange Press Emerging Woman Poet prize.
