Hi, I’m Kristen, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative and tailored to you. My approach blends evidence-based practices with warmth and empathy, helping you build insight and develop tools that truly fit your life.

In our work together, I focus on helping you slow things down, notice patterns, and build tools that actually fit your day-to-day life.

At the heart of my work is a focus on relationships—how we connect with ourselves and with others. I help clients explore the patterns that shape their lives, so they can create healthier relationships, find balance, and build resilience. Whether you’re working through anxiety, grief, life transitions, or relational struggles, I will walk alongside you at your own pace.

Reaching out for support takes courage. Whether this is your first time starting therapy or you’re returning after a break, you don’t have to go through this alone. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges.

My Therapeutic Approach

Supporting Whole-Person Wellness

I believe mental health doesn't exist in isolation. The way we move, recover, sleep, nourish our bodies, and navigate stress all influence our overall well-being.

That's why I enjoy collaborating with healthcare professionals to create educational workshops and conversations that bridge the connection between mental and physical health.

Through these collaborations, I help provide evidence-based education on topics including stress, emotional regulation, relationships, recovery, performance, and the mind-body connection. I've had the opportunity to partner with pelvic floor physical therapists, psychiatric providers, athlete mental health organizations, and other wellness professionals who share a passion for whole-person care.

Whether I'm working one-on-one with clients or collaborating alongside fellow professionals, my goal remains the same: to make mental health approachable, practical, and connected to the whole person.

I earned my Master’s degree in School Counseling from Texas A&M International University in 2020, with additional coursework to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. Before becoming a therapist, I spent five years as a teacher and two years as a school counselor—experiences that gave me a deep understanding of how people learn, grow, and adapt through life’s stages.

For the past three years, I’ve been working as a clinical therapist, supporting clients through challenges and celebrating their growth. I consider it a privilege to walk with individuals as they navigate healing, resilience, and hope.

If you’re considering therapy and wondering whether I might be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out. Finding the right therapist matters.
