A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Kristen.
I’m glad you’re here.

I bring a compassionate, understanding, and down-to-earth approach to therapy, shaped by more than 20 years in the mental health field.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of clinical and community settings. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that everyone deserves a space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported.

My goal is to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, compassion, and collaboration—one where we can explore what matters to you, at a pace that respects where you are.

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER CAN FEEL LIKE

Grounded in compassion.
Built around you.

You bring your own story, challenges, and strengths. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based: we begin with where you are and work toward what you want to change.

01

Space to be heard

An understanding, nonjudgmental relationship where your experiences have room.

02

A clearer perspective

Time to explore patterns, recognize strengths, and consider new ways forward.

03

Support for everyday life

Practical tools to help navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and build confidence.

WAYS I CAN SUPPORT YOU

Whatever you’re carrying,
we can start there.

Support for individuals, couples, and families through the complicated, tender, and changing parts of life.

01

Caregiver support

Caring for someone else can leave little room for yourself. I support people navigating the emotional demands of caring for loved ones with chronic illness, disabilities, or complex health needs.

We can explore caregiver stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, boundaries, and balancing caregiving with your own needs.

02

Parenting support

Parenting can bring joy, uncertainty, and stress—sometimes all at once. Together, we can work on communication, family stress, and strengthening parent-child relationships, helping you feel more confident in your parenting role.

03

Couples & family therapy

When communication becomes difficult or family dynamics shift, it can be hard to find your way back to connection. I support couples and families through relationship conflict, life transitions, parenting disagreements, and changes in family life.

We work together toward healthier patterns of communication and connection.

04

Grief & loss

Loss can take many forms. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, experiencing anticipatory grief, or adjusting to a significant life change, therapy offers space to process what you’re feeling and explore ways forward while honoring what has been lost.

05

Postpartum support

Welcoming a baby can change your sense of self, your relationships, and your daily life. I support individuals and couples through postpartum anxiety, changes in identity, relationship stress, and the emotional and relational adjustments of new parenthood.

06

Anxiety & depression

Persistent worry, low mood, and emotional overwhelm can make everyday life feel heavier. We can work together to better understand what you’re experiencing, develop coping strategies, build resilience, and support your emotional well-being.
