Kirsten is especially passionate about helping clients through significant life transitions and addressing trauma. She has a deep commitment to supporting military families, having been a military spouse herself. Additionally, she has extensive experience working with women navigating midlife transitions and trauma survivors dealing with PTSD. Her empathetic approach and skills in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), couples counseling, and family therapy provide clients with the tools they need to overcome obstacles and improve their emotional wellbeing.
For parents, Kirsten offers guidance in managing childhood behavioral issues and supports those in the adoption and foster care community, using family therapy and parenting strategies to create a supportive environment for children.
She also utilizes play therapy to connect with younger children, helping them process emotions and experiences in a safe and creative space. Outside of her clinical work, Kirsten enjoys yoga, walking her dog, reading, and exploring new hobbies like knitting and gardening.
