Great to meet you!

I am Kirsten, and I am passionate about creating a safe and steady space for teens, young adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

My approach to therapy

I have experience supporting those struggling with self-harm suicidal thoughts in a non-judgemental way. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. We will work together at a pace that feels safe while creating meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about getting to know you- not labeling you. You can expect a supportive, structured space where we will begin understanding what brings you in and what you would like to be different in your life. I will ask you questions about your current concern, your history, relationships, and what you have already tried. You are always in control of how much you share.
