More about Kristen
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Level 5 Certified Trauma Therapist, I believe in a holistic approach that mends and heals the mind, body and spirit. For the last 16 years, I have worked with adults, couples, families, children and adolescents, assisting them with improving the quality of their lives.
I promote a safe environment built on open communication and trust that will assist with you feeling comfortable along your journey. We will compose goals collaboratively and work together to achieve them. Although many of us have been trained to believe we can do it on our own, it is okay to ask for help. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
