Each age and stage of life brings new challenges and it doesn't come with a manual. My goal is to help clients navigate these transitions and challenges in the best way possible. I have spent 12 years working with children and families in a school setting and have seen the way family struggles impact the individual. My particular strengths are communication difficulties, relationship struggles, parenting and attachment needs. I am a practitioner of TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Interventions) and practice human-informed care. I believe that strengthening our healthy relationships and connections can help improve our quality of life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will get to know each other and I will ask you what you would like help working on. I will never ask a client to schedule a second session on the spot because I want you to consider if you feel like this relationship is a good fit for you.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I use Eclectic Therapy techniques, including person-centered, attachment-based and therapeutic coaching.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am an attachment-aware, trauma-informed and relationship-focused social worker. My particular strengths are communication difficulties, relationship struggles, parenting and attachment needs.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I believe that you are the expert on yourself. Sometimes you need someone to help provide feedback and insight that you haven't considered before. I am happy to be that person for you .

Kirsten is an extraordinary human, and I am so grateful to have found her. She makes me feel like I can face the world no matter what challenges or circumstances I am going through. Kirsten is kind, empathetic, inspiring, intelligent, caring, and knowledgeable. She always listens with an open heart and an open mind, and she asks all the right questions for me to figure out solutions on my own. If you are looking for a therapist that truly cares, Kirsten is most definitely the one!
