Trauma-Informed care for meaningful change. Hi, I'm Kristen and I'm so glad to meet you at this stage of your healing journey. As a trauma-informed counselor, I focus on supporting adults and adolescents through various challenges including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, identity exploration, life transitions, and stress/burnout. I believe in each individual's ability to navigate life's complexities using their inherent strengths and resilience. My goal is to empower clients through increasing emotional awareness, cultivating inner harmony, and embracing authentic living.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and informed in Internal Family Systems (IFS). By integrating elements of EMDR, IFS, and behavioral techniques, I tailor therapy to meet each client's unique needs and goals. Additionally, I value using creative expressive modalities and have specialized training Sandtray Therapy.
I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming counselor deeply committed to creating a safe, empathetic, and inclusive environment for every individual who seeks support. I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to see if I may be the right fit to support you in your healing journey.
