It’s time to connect to yourself again.

Meet Kristin Tand providing individual therapy to women in Portland and all across Oregon & Washington

You remember a time when working through the weekend and feeling numb wasn’t the “norm”...

but those days feel like a distant memory.   Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

You’ve come to the right place and I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Kristin, and I help women just like you: who have it within themselves to feel rejuvenated and whole, but just need the support to get there. 

I help my clients find balance, joy and empowerment by teaching them to listen deeply to themselves so they can unburden from their old patterns and habits.

Many of today’s solutions for anxiety are through quick fixes or only teach “coping strategies” to manage daily stresses, leading you to have short term progress without long-term results.  Although you’ll get tools for day-to-day relief, I’ll strive to help you heal the underlying causes of your anxiety. This way you’re not just coping with triggers but instead are creating lasting transformation for yourself. 

Talking to a stranger can be difficult. First, we’ll create a safe environment and develop a trusting relationship so you feel at ease.  Then we’ll take an inventory of the parts in your life that exacerbate your anxiety and cause you to overwork. 

We’ll then gently help you connect with your past to give the wounds the care and attention they need so you can be present in your current life and move toward your future.  Through our work together, you’ll create self compassion and experience more emotional intimacy.

You can learn to own your strengths

My training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) means I have the expertise you need and deserve in order to heal from your past. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be an anxious woman who’s struggling, right?

I get it because I’ve been there: tired, stressed, feeling like if I just got one more thing done then I’d feel good about myself—I’d feel accomplished.  I understand that you think working harder feels like it’s the answer even when your body tells you otherwise.  So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. 

You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
