Hi, I’m Roxanne Kruger, MA, LPC
Therapist | Story Listener| Pattern Breaker
We’re all a mix of old habits and new hopes. Let’s figure out which ones get to stay.
About Roxanne
The struggles we face today are usually connected to something older. Past experiences, family dynamics, the ways we learned to cope when we didn't have a lot of other options. Those patterns made sense at the time. They just don't always make sense anymore.
I work with people who are ready to look at their story honestly, with curiosity and without shame. We'll figure out what's actually driving the patterns that keep showing up, and start building something that feels more like who you actually are now.
I've worked with college students and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I value deep listening, honest reflection, and creating a space where you feel genuinely seen. Not just heard. Seen.
I'm endlessly curious about how people work. The mind, behavior, patterns, why we do what we do even when we know better. That curiosity is what drew me to this work and it's what keeps me in it.
What It's Like to Work With Me
Working with me is equal parts insight, curiosity, and gentle challenge. I'm not here to fix you and I definitely don't have all the answers. But I am really good at helping you ask the right questions.
I'll notice patterns you might not have seen yet, reflect things back in a way that makes them click, and hold space for the messy parts without flinching. We'll make room for humor, honesty, and those oddly satisfying ah-ha moments that come when things finally start to make sense.
Therapy with me isn't performative. It's real, thoughtful, and grounded in respect for where you've been and where you're trying to go.
I compost, forage, and can keep any plant alive. I also track my REM cycle nightly and have strong opinions about sleep. I mention this only because I think it tells you something about how I show up in therapy too. Curious, a little obsessive about the details, and genuinely invested in what makes things grow.

"Like any relationship, counseling takes time to build trust. It's completely okay to try a few sessions with a therapist and decide they're not the right fit, and to keep looking until you find someone who feels safe.
You don't have to share everything at once. You're in control of what you talk about and when. A good therapist will never judge you for what you bring into the room. They'll meet you with curiosity and care."

"Helping people make sense of the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that were shaped by their past but aren't serving them anymore. That usually means looking at unresolved trauma, family dynamics, attachment, anxiety, identity, and the life transitions that shake everything loose. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. And occasionally a little bit funny."
