“Working with my clients to develop a trusting, safe, and collaborative relationship is key for embracing change. Together, we can learn to practice self-compassion while also working to be the best version of ourselves. I support my clients in facing and overcoming new challenges. We work alongside one another to create a life worth living."

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Kristen has had a profound impact on my life and my recovery. Our relationship began with crisis intervention, as I was suffering from substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma, and mental health issues that I had neglected for years. Kristen helped me to develop effective coping strategies, address and combat core negative self-worth beliefs, learn how to practice self-care, and gain confidence through her compassionate style of individual, group, and family therapy. I do. I now live a healthy, happy, and sober life!
– CLIENT
When I started seeing Kristen, I was in a very fragile place in my life. She helped me rebuild relationships with the people closest to me and, most importantly, the one with myself.
I have been so fortunate to work with her, and she has helped me become the BEST ME I can be. She always senses when I may be stumbling on my path of growth, weighed down by self-imposed negativity. Her constant insight keeps me on track. No matter how I feel upon entering her office, I ALWAYS feel ten times better when I leave.
Working with Kristen, I truly feel that so much of my accomplishments have stemmed from her helping me to see and realize the greatness of who I am.
– CLIENT
Kristen is by far the most incredible coach I have ever met. She has helped me in ways I didn’t even know I needed help in. She helped me transform my life in the most amazing way. I was a completely different person when I first met her. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a coach!
