Each day is a new opportunity for change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker my mission is to strengthen the individual and/or family by drawing on natural resources that exist both internally and externally; with the ultimate goal to develop emotionally-well and empowered individuals. Through the therapeutic process, I will assist you in developing clarity of how your past experiences have affected you, and work towards the understanding that they do not define you.

Hi! I'm Kristen.

Hello and welcome. I believe that healing happens through a connection of mind, body and spirit. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change. Drawing from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and having the ability to reframe core belief's. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

My experience includes mental health treatment, substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, intensive family therapy, and grief work. I view each person within the context of their relationships, environment, and life experiences, and tailor treatment to meet their unique needs.

I believe that the client will take the lead in sharing what brings themt to therapy, that we have open discussions and will work together to empower the client to find ways to manage their struggles or concerns
