Kristen is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who specializes in supporting high-achieving women and moms navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, infertility, and the constant pressure to do it all. Her clients may appear to have everything together, yet underneath, they feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, and wonder why life feels so hard when they are doing everything “right.” They meet expectations and show up for everyone else, yet their minds never seem to slow down. Kristen works collaboratively with her clients to help them feel calmer, more present, and better able to enjoy the lives they have worked so hard to build.

​

Her approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and free of judgment. She integrates relational cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, attachment therapy, strengths-based therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients understand the patterns behind their stress and emotional overwhelm. Together, Kristen and her clients explore how past experiences and relationships influence the way they think, feel, and respond today while building practical tools to manage anxiety, quiet mental overload, strengthen boundaries, and create lasting change.

​

Kristen's own journey to parenthood after years of infertility taught her that life does not always follow the plan carefully mapped out. As a parent raising a toddler while balancing work, family, and two pets, she understands how easy it is to put yourself last and feel as though there is always something more you should be doing. These experiences shape her belief that caring for yourself is not something you earn after everyone else is okay; it is an essential part of your well-being.

​

Kristen believes the therapeutic relationship matters just as much as the tools used in therapy. Her goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, understood without judgment, and supported in making changes that feel realistic and sustainable. She reminds clients that they do not have to keep proving they can handle everything alone. For those ready to quiet the mental noise, reconnect with themselves, and create a life that feels good to live, not just one that looks good from the outside, Kristen invites them to reach out and explore whether they would be a good fit.
