Hello and Welcome!
I am Kristin Brenner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, yoga teacher, and a mindfulness and self-compassion educator.
I work with couples who are ready to move their relationship toward more secure functioning, meaning they learn to make taking care of each other the priority.
Whether you are navigating a crisis, feeling disconnected, or simply want to deepen intimacy and understanding, couple therapy can help you move forward with intention and care. This is a space for healing, re-calibration, and deep re-connection—with yourself and your partner.
Therapy for Couples Navigating
Life’s Shifting Seasons
I specialize in Couple Therapy. I’m trained in the PACT model (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), developed by Dr. Stan Tatkin. This approach is grounded in attachment theory, neuroscience, nervous system regulations, and developmental psychology and focuses on how partners affect one another at both emotional and biological levels. Simply put, we are wired to depend on our closest relationships for safety, regulation, and connection.
How I Work
My approach is collaborative, warm, and attuned to nervous system functioning of the couple. I draw from parts work, Buddhist psychology, mindfulness, and compassion-based work. Our work together is grounded in respect, trust, and a belief in your resilience as a couple.
I believe you are the expert on yourselves and each other. I can guide you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based tools as you reconnect with your partner, heal from old wounds, and create the life you want together.
