Meet Kristen!
We each have experiences that shape the way we view ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I will help you reconnect with yourself and build genuine and thriving relationships. I am a Clinical Social Worker with more than twelve years of experience supporting individuals (18+), and couples in overcoming anxiety/depression, relationship challenges, imposter syndrome/self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and chronic stress. I have extensive experience and am passionate about supporting clients in processing and coping with sexual trauma & sexually transmitted infections. Kristen specializes in working through infidelity, navigating partnerships experiencing narcissistic traits, as well as communication challenges. Together we will explore opportunities for self-acceptance, skill building, and understanding the mind-body connection to free yourself from the patterns and limitations imposed on you by your past.
​
I strive to create a warm and trusting environment, free of judgment, to promote a safe space for self-discovery and personal growth. Through the difficult journey of self-exploration and by fostering the connection with oneself and others needed to thrive, I will empower you to recognize the value and strength you hold within. We will nurture your relationships with those around you so you can experience fulfilling connections that thrive allowing you to feel understood, valued, and respected. You will learn how to live true to your values, quiet your inner critic, and as a result truly own and feel confident in your choices, actions, and most importantly yourself!
