Great to meet you!

You’re the one holding everything together — but inside, you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, and like everything is on you. You’re snapping more than you want to, constantly anxious, or wondering how you ended up feeling this disconnected from yourself. I help women, especially moms, who are burnt out and carrying the mental load finally feel calmer, more in control, and like themselves again. You don’t have to keep pushing through like this. Im Kristen, a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC) and I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, burnout and the demands of motherhood-including perinatal/postpartum.

My approach to therapy

Here at Ever Rising Mental Health Counseling, I help women reconnect with their voice, ease anxiety, and rebuild self trust. Our work together integrates nervous system regulation and practical, evidence-based strategies to help you feel more grounded, emotionally steady and in control.

What you can expect from me

If you're ready to quiet the self doubt and step into a calmer, more confident version of yourself, reach out today to schedule a brief consultation. I'd love to see how I can support you.
