About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSWC) with 15 years of experience working primarily with Families and Children who are navigating difficult life moments, such as changes in family structure, parenting children with mental health concerns and/or developmental disabilities, parenting difficulties related to parental mental illness and/or substance use disorders, parent-child conflict, and child abuse/neglect related problems. My approach is solution focused, strengths based, and trauma informed.
I believe that you are the expert of your situation and can find solutions to life struggles when provided with the proper support and intervention. I approach each person as a unique individual and will utilize active listening & motivational interviewing techniques to support you in identifying coping skills, behavioral modifications and/or strategies to improve relationships in efforts to overcome adversity and develop the necessary skills to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

Kristen has been fantastic in the couple of months I’ve had her. It’s not like I’m talking to a therapist, but like I’m talking to a friend. She never judges and with as much as I jump around with topics, she manages to help me take it step by step. She’s the best!

Kristen is an amazing person to work with. I feel heard and seen, and I am able to leave each session finding new challenges to work through with her help. I have been able to do some growing the past couple of months through her support.

I’ve only worked with Kristen for a few sessions but I really love talking to her. I am very glad I switched therapist and matched with her she really makes me feel better whenever I live chat or just regular message with her
