Hi, I’m Kristen—Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience supporting high-achieving women and young professionals who are navigating burnout, career transitions, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” Many of my clients are driven, capable, and successful on paper—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from the life they’ve built. They’re often at a turning point: ready to pivot careers, grow a business, or redefine what success actually means for them. My approach is collaborative, direct, and results-oriented. I combine evidence-based therapy with practical strategy to help you regulate stress, gain clarity, and make confident, aligned decisions—without spending years in therapy. This work is about more than insight; it’s about creating real momentum in your life and career. You can expect a space where you’re both supported and challenged—where you don’t have to perform, but you also won’t stay stuck. Together, we’ll move you out of burnout and into a more grounded, intentional way of living and working. For those who value faith as part of their healing, I also offer a nondenominational, faith-integrated approach rooted in compassion, purpose, and spiritual alignment. Whether you’re building something new, questioning your next move, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again—this is a space to reset, realign, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, thoughtful, and exploratory. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. I tailor my work to each individual, recognizing that everyone’s experiences and needs are different. I take a holistic view of mental health. This means we will look not only at your thoughts and emotions, but also at your environment, relationships, and daily routines. I believe these areas all play an important role in how we feel and function. I also have experience supporting clients who are exploring medication as part of their care. I can help you prepare for conversations with psychiatrists and think through what options might feel right for you. At the same time, I often focus on building skills and making meaningful life changes as a foundation for long-term well-being. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

I am a firm believer in a person-centered, whole-health approach to healthcare and total well-being. If you ever need assistance for what could be described as symptoms of depression or anxiety, this may require a more comprehensive evaluation. If you experience poor appetite, lack of interest in normal activities, poor concentration, and frequent fatigue, additional information could be required in order to establish a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Seeking help at times can be very difficult. Some people believe seeking help for personal problems is a sign of weakness. In fact, the opposite is true; it's actually a sign of strength! I look forward to working with you and assisting you in getting your life back on track. I have committed nearly 46 years of my life to helping others.

I absolutely love what I do and my life has meaning because I see people I council get in with their life and living in healthy and meaningful ways. I am truly here for you. I could have retired a long time ago but I cannot believe that there is anything more satisfying or fulfilling than helping people when they reach out and ask for it.
