Introduction

Hi, I’m Kristen (she/her/hers). Sometimes we know something needs to change but aren’t sure where to begin. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel supported, and find your next steps. I work with children (ages 8+), adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity, friendships, family changes, and major life transitions. I also enjoy supporting mothers through pregnancy and postpartum. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I help clients better understand their emotions, build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and communicate their needs. I draw from attachment, systems, CBT, DBT, narrative, and person-centered approaches, while partnering with parents to create meaningful change both in and outside of therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, your family, or a transition in life, you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood.
