You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood—and if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, specializing in mental health and substance use. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families across a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, home-based care, and virtual therapy.

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own.

My approach is collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in compassion. I use evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life—not just a model. We focus on what’s showing up for you right now, while also working toward longer-term stability and change.

Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It’s a space to slow things down, understand what’s driving stress or emotional pain, and build practical tools that help you feel more steady and in control of your day-to-day life.

Therapist

For almost 15 years, I've walked alongside people through some of the hardest moments of their lives — whether that's anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that makes everything feel heavier, the aftermath of trauma, or the strain that pulls relationships apart. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to adults, couples, and families, and I believe deeply that healing happens in a space where you feel genuinely seen and never judged.

My approach is collaborative and evidence-based — drawing on tools like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy — but the methods always come second to the relationship. Having worked across hospitals, emergency settings, college campuses, and private practice, I'm comfortable with everything from everyday stress to moments of real crisis.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to have it all figured out before we begin. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd be honored to take it with you.

Therapist

Therapy isn’t supposed to feel like performance. It’s supposed to feel like relief.

I’m Kristen — a licensed clinical social worker who’s spent over 20 years supporting people through transitions, overwhelm, and deep life work. I live in South Portland, Maine with my family, and I understand firsthand the emotional labor, coordination, and internal pressure that come with being a capable, high-achieving woman and mother.

As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I intimately understand the cost of masking — and what it takes to stop performing and start feeling and living.
