Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Kristen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

My counseling style is unique because I thrive on bringing my authentic self into sessions. I believe it is imperative to meet you as a human first while allowing my clinical knowledge to support our process. I want my realness to guide my expertise. I love walking through life with my clients and find it to be an incredible blessing that you chose me to help you through life’s tough moments.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I come from the lens that our history largely affects our present. I have dedicated my life to exploring how our relationships with others impact our journey with ourselves in profound ways. My goal is to meet you where you are at. Sometimes that might look like your cheerleader. Other times, I might serve as your mirror and show you a reflection of yourself to help challenge you and bring you closer to the goals you come into counseling with.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether I am working with adolescents, teens, or adults I am a passionate advocate of my clients and invest wholeheartedly in my therapeutic relationship with them. In our collaborative work together I will meet you where you are with authenticity and respect; compassion, humor, and humility will become a part of our working relationship.
