Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Kristen, a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Solution Focused Therapy. I hold a Masters of Social Work degree and I have almost 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

I work with clients in a compassionate and client-centered way, creating a safe, open space for exploration and growth. I am direct but compassionate when working with clients and I enjoy incorporating humor when appropriate. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship, empowering clients to gain insight, develop coping strategies, and achieve their personal goals. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to help you navigate toward positive change in your life.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, practical tools, and a sense of empowerment to navigate life’s challenges. We will work together to set specific, achievable goals. I aim to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel supported and understood, encouraging personal growth and progress at a pace that feels right for you.
