Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

Helping you understand what you’re feeling, why it’s showing up, and what to do with it—without making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Sessions are a mix of real conversation, reflection, and tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. No pressure to be perfect. No pressure to have it all figured out.

Here’s what we focus on:

Making sense of your emotions (without shame or judgment)

Building better relationships—with others and with yourself

Learning how to calm your system when things feel too loud or too much

You don’t need to be “fixed.” You just need space, support, and someone to help you get clear on what’s going on underneath it all.

Meet the therapist

Hey there, I’m Kristen

I’m a Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and nervous system educator—here to help you make sense of your emotions and feel more like yourself again.

Before this, I worked in brand marketing. I know what it’s like to look like you’ve got it all together—and secretly feel like you’re falling apart.

Now I bring clinical expertise and real-life understanding to therapy that actually helps.

We’ll make it make sense.

We’ll get you feeling better—for real
