About Me

Hi, I'm Kristen. I'm glad you're here.

Taking the step to seek support can feel daunting and your courage in doing so is already movement toward healing. I work from a holistic, trauma-informed lens that honors the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and integrates evidence-based and experiential approaches for meaningful change.

I specialize in working with individuals (age 18+) who are navigating the effects of childhood trauma (abuse, neglect, child of emotionally immature caregivers), PTSD, and anxiety helping them find relief from inner turmoil. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can heal, rebuild, and reclaim your strength. Together, we'll explore how your past affects your present and create strategies to build resilience, growth, and well-being. 

My clinical approaches include EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS-informed), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also integrate somatic and creative arts therapies to support nervous system regulation, emotional expression, and deeper connection to self and others.

With a background in vocational Christian ministry, I offer specialized support to current and former ministry families. This includes working through the unique challenges of leadership stress and burnout, spiritual trauma, and identity shifts through seasons of transition.

If you're ready to heal, grow, and reclaim your sense of wholeness, I'd be honored to walk with you on your journey.
