Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Kristen and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with primary experience in crisis intervention and the hospital setting. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and went on to receive my master’s degree in mental health counseling from the University of Texas at El Paso. I'm a huge advocate for finding a clinician you click with, sometimes through trial and error. It’s tough to ask for help, and it can be just as difficult to find a therapist that you feel safe with, but I am here to try and make the experience of receiving therapy as comfortable and reaffirming of an experience as possible. Everyone is worthy of getting better — yourself included.

My approach to therapy

My approach is rooted in having a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and supportive therapeutic relationship.

What you can expect from me

This is your time -- we'll work to figure out how our sessions can be most beneficial for you!
