Hi, I’m Kristen. My priority is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood from the very beginning. I know how important it is to work with someone you can trust, especially when you’re opening up about things that feel painful or overwhelming.

Anxiety and pornography can wreck your life and your marriage. As a man who grew up in Utah with social anxiety and my own struggles with pornography, I understand the unique nuance and pressures that come with these issues. A part of you wants one thing, and another part of you wants the opposite. Sometimes you feel like you aren’t even yourself. And all of it conflicts with your values and future goals. I have found what works for me and for my marriage, and I want to help you find what works for you. Whether you are a teen struggling with the "first time" or you and your spouse are married and don't know what to do, I am here.

The bravest chapters of our lives often start with a single, quiet decision to begin.

Although life is challenging for every human, it can be especially challenging to live with neurodivergence in a world largely molded for neurotypical people. It can feel like an uphill battle to live freely with a LGBTQ+ sexuality in a heteronormative world. It can be a deep challenge to accept and embrace a bigger body in a world that struggles to make space for diversity. My clients are those who have felt different; who have felt shame, guilt, & worry. They desire to feel at home with themselves, and to know how to show up authentically in a world, family system, religion, or culture that has not encouraged their authenticity.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.
How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.
What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
