With over 25 years of experience in the field of social work and psychotherapy, Kristen continues to love meeting and connecting with people on their journey to wellness. She works with a wide range of people and situations including complex trauma, mood disorders and personality disorders. Kristen uses a variety of techniques in her work specifically tailored to the individual needs of her client. She has experience and training in use of EMDR, Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. She has a history of supervising and training other clinicians, developing programs and teaching/presenting to groups - and yet always returns to her passion of working directly with individuals and families. Kristen works from a place of non-judgment and curiosity as together with clients exploring different perspectives and options for moving toward their goals. Balancing validation and support with gentle guidance, she walks with clients through navigating both joys and challenges and helping them create the life they desire.
In her free time, Kristen enjoys spending time reading and drinking endless cups of coffee at the local cafe as well as knitting (and unraveling) her latest yarn creation. She also practices yoga and enjoys hiking trips with her family (although she often gives up on the hiking and just reads at the trailhead.)
We'll work with you every step of the way. We focus on the whole person, rather than on specific issues and see self-discovery as an active multi-sensory process. Ready to begin? Request an appointment, and we'll match you with a therapist.
