Great to meet you!

Hello, I'm Kirsten, I'm dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward healing and empowerment. With a warm heart and a listening ear, I provide a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, navigate challenges, and cultivate resilience. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of New Hampshire, where I honed my skills in therapeutic intervention, trauma-informed care, and counseling techniques.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy emphasizes a holistic and person-centered perspective. Integrating various evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and trauma-informed care into my practice. I focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance, fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, and empowering them to develop coping skills and resilience.

What you can expect from our first session

After sessions, clients can expect to take away a deeper understanding of themselves, their emotions, and their experiences. They will gain practical coping strategies and tools to navigate life's challenges more effectively. Clients can expect to leave each session with a renewed sense of hope, resilience, and a clearer path forward in their journey toward healing and personal growth.
