Hi, I’m Kirsten, a licensed couples therapist passionate about helping people reconnect, heal, and grow together. With over 20 of experience, I specialize in guiding couples through everything from communication breakdowns and conflict cycles to rebuilding trust after betrayal. My approach blends evidence-based methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a deep respect for each couple’s unique dynamic. I believe relationships don’t need to be perfect—they need to be real, intentional, and nurtured with understanding. Whether you're dating, married, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, compassionate space to explore your patterns and strengthen your bond. Let’s untangle the stuck places and rediscover what brought you together in the first place.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My warm and understanding nature has always been at the heart of my work as a therapist. I create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and accepted—often for the first time. I believe that genuine connection is the foundation for meaningful change, and I approach each person with deep empathy, curiosity, and respect. Whether someone is opening up about long-held pain or simply trying to make sense of day-to-day struggles, I meet them without judgment and with steady support. Over the years, I’ve found that this kind of compassionate presence not only helps people feel safe, but also empowers them to open up, take risks, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
For over 20 years, I’ve been immersed in the practice of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—not just as a set of tools, but as a philosophy that change is always possible. My journey with CBT began with a simple but powerful belief: that our thoughts have incredible influence over how we feel and how we live. That belief has guided me through two decades of working with individuals navigating everything from anxiety and depression to trauma, grief, and life transitions.
