Welcome to
Olive Branch Mental Health
Empowering women in Illinois to re-discover their worth and process the impact of their story!
Hello, World!
Available Services
I specialize in working with women. Their stories are as unique as they are. I help women let go of "getting back to my old self" and re-discover their worth today. We are not defined by one event or one part of our identity. I will help you reduce the guilt, anxiety, and or shame that you have carried in your life. The future possibilities are endless.
There will be no judgments, lots of laughter, (some tears), and a whole lot of healing when we begin working together!

More about
our brand
I developed Olive Branch Mental Health after spending several years in executive positions in the non-profit sector. I like to say, “I climbed the ladder to the top but hated the view”. I took the leap to shift from a couple part time therapy clients to providing therapy and speaking events full time. I am Licensed therapist with about 15 years of experience proving trauma informed therapy.
Olive Branch is extending a branch of support to those seeking to create change in their life. We aim to create a space for women to find themselves again and allow their needs to be a priority again. Women are often lost in the needs of others; I want my clients to re-discover their worth. Unfortunately, I have limited space on my caseload and wanted a way to reach more women. I will be launching “Mom Recharge: with Kris, a no bull**** therapist” podcast this month!
I also have about 20 years’ experience providing public speaking events that range from mental health training, leadership development to motivational speaking.
