Testimonials

I have been working with Dr. Kristen for almost two years now. I connected with her during a crisis and was a hopeless and treatment resistant patient. Therapy with Dr. Kristen has helped me see reality clearer and she has helped me move past the paranoia and anxiety I’ve been holding for almost my entire life. She is able to challenge my thoughts in a gentle manner and help me understand what thoughts are a part of my disorder and what thoughts are just like anyone else’s. When you’ve been sick for a while you tend to loose touch with reality and unfortunately that happened to me before we met. I have seen an improvement in my thinking patterns, emotional intelligence, and logical reasoning. I have also seen an improvement in my self confidence. With this I am able to navigate relationships like a regular person and know my worth. The specific treatments that have helped me are CBT treatments. After learning how to change my thinking patterns I am a better friend, sister, and daughter. I am able to recognize every unhealthy thought and I am not able to change them healthier ones. I would recommend her to anyone. She is the first therapist in years I have actually gotten better from.

Working with Dr. Kristen has been a breakthrough. Her experienced and nuanced approach has allowed me to push through barriers, and has contributed to improved success in my life - personally and professionally. Most valuable is the insight I have gained into myself and my relationships. People can go through life without this vital understanding. I don't know how I managed without this invaluable vision. It is truly restorative. 

Our experience with Kristen has been incredibly rewarding. Kristen treats our sessions with respect, care, and insight; she creates a non-judgmental environment and helps make sense of challenging situations. In this sense, working with Kristen has been remarkably therapeutic. Her approach feels tailor-fit and supports a sense of dignity during difficult times. Kristen allows for emotional, spiritual, and psychological growth and healing. Kristen balances compassion and empathy with identifying themes, causes, and patterns of thought and accountability.   

Kristen's passion for making a positive impact is palpable, evident in the countless hours she devotes to serving others. I have had the privilege of witnessing the transformative effect Kristen has had on our community, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an effective advocate for positive change. 

Kristen exemplifies what it means to be a true community leader, consistently going above and beyond to ensure everyone is heard. What truly sets her apart is her ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life with genuine empathy and understanding. I highly recommend Kristen for any of your community engagement needs.
