More Than Counseling.
A Place for Healing, Hope, and Growth.
A warm, welcoming environment where you can feel safe, understood, and supported as you move toward lasting change.
Why We Exist
At Tree of Life Counseling Center, we believe every person has a story worth understanding and a future worth pursuing. Life can leave us carrying burdens we never expected—grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, shame, or simply the weight of trying to hold everything together.
Our mission is to provide a place where healing can begin, hope can be restored, and lasting change becomes possible. We named our practice Tree of Life because healing is often much like the growth of a tree. Strong roots provide stability through every season, and with the right care, new growth is always possible.

Meet Our Founder
Hi! My name is Cristin, and I am the founder of Tree of Life Counseling Center. For many years, I had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom, a season of life that taught me the value of patience, compassion, and the importance of being present with others. While raising my family, I always had a deep interest in psychology and mental health. As life unfolded, I felt called to pursue my passion for mental health and returned to school to earn my counseling degree.
Through my own experiences and years of working with clients, I've come to understand that healing is rarely about simply "moving on." It takes courage to face painful experiences, challenge long-held beliefs, and begin writing a new chapter. Walking alongside people through that journey is one of the greatest privileges of my work.
I have a particular passion for helping adults heal from trauma, which led me to become certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I enjoy working with both men and women who are ready to better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and find lasting healing. For those who desire it, I also enjoy thoughtfully integrating Christian faith into the counseling process.
When I founded Tree of Life Counseling Center, my vision was simple: to create a place where people feel safe, understood, and supported as they work toward healing and growth. It is an honor to walk alongside each person who entrusts us with their story.
