Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Kristen. I'm a Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a doctorate in nursing and 20+ years of experience. I work with beautifully unique individuals of all ages—those who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, quirky, introverted, reflective, perfectionistic, overachievers, overthinkers. If you’re navigating life transitions, exploring identity, or feeling out of place, I provide a supportive, affirming space for you to heal, grow, and thrive.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach honors your uniqueness and individuality. Whether it’s prescribing medication, engaging in talk therapy, or listening to your story, I’m here as a trusted partner in your care and recovery. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can embrace your authentic self and work toward a greater sense of balance, confidence, and well-being.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we’ll help you face challenges with clarity and confidence while embracing what makes you uniquely you. You’ll leave sessions feeling seen, heard, and empowered to take control of your mental health. My goal is to help you grow into the healthiest, most authentic version of yourself and navigate life with greater ease and joy—without losing the essence of who you are.
