Do you find yourself stressed, overloaded and uncertain? Do you hope to be more effective in leading your team or company? Or just wish for greater ease in navigating life’s challenges? Wherever you are on your journey, the assistance of a skilled therapist or coach can be transformative.

You already have the power to change within you. I'm confident that together we can unlock that power so that you can use it to create the kind of life you want. Over the years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds and helped them grow stronger and healthier as they continue to face life's challenges. You have your own strengths and talents which I can help you recognize, develop, and use to enhance your life.

Greetings! Thanks for looking at this and, hopefully, reaching out. I've been doing this for 30+ years and have had the opportunity to work with all types of people, in all types of settings, who seek a life worth living. We know what want - good, stable mood - meaningful relationships - deep, and rewarding, interactions with life and all that comes with it - to feel like what we do matters - motivation to be more than we are - contribute to society - pursue our passions - heal our shame - live an examined life. It's not an unreasonable ask. We are innately born with the evolutionary drive to adapt, grow and thrive - our birthright.

I treat worry and overthinking in adolescents with depression and anxiety. We use rumination focused cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals aged 12-17. Rumination is a tendency to get stuck in thoughts inside your head (e.g., worry, overthinking), typically sad or negative thoughts. Rumination is a risk factor for depression and anxiety. We are currently conducting a randomized clinical trial of rumination focused CBT for teens with a history of depression. Eligible teens and their family member are compensated, receive free therapy (either RF-CBT or Relaxation). Clinical trial NCT03859297.

As humans, we all experience seasons in our lives. Often times we can see and name the things that are difficult: big life transitions, relationship challenges, or significant loss. Other times, it's harder to put a finger on what is "wrong," but things just feel harder or heavier than they have in the past. Sometimes we've been carrying an emotional or psychological load and we need help disentangling it from our identity in order to set it down.

When you're looking for help, it can be hard to decide who to go to. You want someone who will understand; who will not judge or lecture you or label...someone who will focus on the core of the concern and have you feeling and performing better in the least amount of time. Much of what happens in successful counseling is a product of the relationship between therapist and client, so choosing your therapist is an important and difficult decision.

Deciding who we are and who we want to be can be rough; having a judgment-free space to talk through it can provide peace of mind. I am passionate about helping people navigate their identity journeys which may include: career changes, family dynamics, relationships, sexuality, and faith transitions.

Kristen believes that play is the most important work that a child can engage in. Providing a safe space for children to engage in that play is work that she is passionate about. Kristen also works with young people who have disabilities in feeling seen as valuable people rather than for their disabilities, in assisting parents to learn how to advocate for their child, and in teaching children how to advocate for themselves.

Whether your challenge is new or longstanding, change is possible, especially given the right kind of help. I can help you develop the awareness, skills and courage to create this change. Utilizing evidence-based techniques, I create a therapeutic experience tailored to your unique circumstances. Collaboratively, we focus on alleviating your distress while developing the skills to lead you to a rich, meaningful life. Therapy can be both challenging and rewarding. I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive stance, grounded in clinical expertise to aid you in this process.

I work with individuals and couples who desire to move beyond their past, create the love they know is possible, or overcome anxiety and depression. You have the capacity for true happiness. You can have an incredible relationship. It is time to work through self doubt, a major life transition, or a growing apart. Why work with me? Because you need a therapist that wants to understand you. You don't want judgement, you want direction. You deserve to feel comfortable and unafraid to embrace who you are right now, with confidence that a happier life is waiting for you.

As someone who has lived with the symptoms of anxiety and depression for years, I know how difficult life can be when these things weigh you down. Fortunately, this doesn't have to be so. I am experienced in applying therapeutic skills that I personally know to be powerful in alleviating suffering and improving lives. While my therapeutic background is in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I am experienced in working within an eclectic therapeutic framework, and I call on various methods as necessary. I enjoy working with both teens and adults, and I also work well with LGBTQ+ clients.

The fact you are looking for a therapist shows you have begun a worth while journey. Every client is unique with his or her own special needs. As a result, therapy is geared to meet the needs of each individual or couple. With my facilitation I will partner with you, which will promote healing and provide a structure to support you as you carry yourself in the world. Dream work is available. For several years I have been working with clients whose ages range from 3-93 because therapy works for people no matter where they are in their lifespan.

We are becoming more aware how psychological pain increases when we haven't developed a strong sense of self. Such distress, presenting in forms such as depression and anxiety, can keep us from profound and beautiful connection. Healthy relationships we have with ourselves and others are essential for our emotional well-being. So first, live a life that reflects who you are, even if others don't quite understand. Trying to conform to what others want has never been possible. In the Power of Awareness, Neville wrote, "The awareness of 'being' remains regardless of the degree of forgetfulness of who, where and what I am."

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and challenging life transitions. Common experiences include intrusive or ruminative thoughts; impulsive or compulsive behaviors that seem hard to control; challenging relationships; or simply feeling like day-to-day life isn't aligning with the life you envisioned. I appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of people and strive to utilize a non-judgmental approach. My style is open and easy going. Since 2011, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of struggles. My approach is collaborative with a background in DBT, CBT, and Mindfulness.
