Kristen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Kristen has over nine years of experience working in the mental health and chemical dependency field walking along side individuals who struggle with mental health as well as alcohol and substance abuse. It is her belief everyone is worthy of love, belonging, and compassion. Working with individuals as a therapist is Kristen’s soul work.
She is deeply passionate about mental health and cares deeply about the people she has the privilege to work with. She works with individuals, couples, families, teens, and children. Kristen’s style is friendly, non-pathologizing and nonjudgmental. Kristen works from a Narrative therapy lens. Narrative Therapy is first and foremost a respectful, non-blaming model which presupposes that clients, not their therapists, are the experts in their own lives.
Narrative Therapy views problems as being entirely separate from people. Narrative Therapists assume that their clients possess beliefs, skills, values, competencies, and strengths that they can employ to reduce the impact that problems have on their lives.
