About Kristen
Kristen focuses on clear, practical steps in the room. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions include talking through painful memories, practicing coping skills, and naming values that matter most to the client.
She has a long history of working with young adults during life transitions. That experience informs how she balances short-term goals with deeper, longer work. Clients often address issues such as dissociation, isolation or loneliness, and feelings of emptiness alongside concrete eating and self-harm related concerns.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build coping strategies and restore a sense of agency. Kristen also attends to guilt, shame, and forgiveness so clients can move forward with clearer self-regard. Life purpose is an area she regularly helps people sort through as they rethink career and personal priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kristen draws from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing how someone responds to difficult memories and feelings. One common approach addresses trauma by helping people slowly revisit painful events while learning skills to manage strong reactions; this can reduce the intensity of distressing memories over time. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies for mood and eating concerns, using concrete exercises and small, testable changes to daily routines that make symptoms easier to manage.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Kristen treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She reviews what has or hasn’t worked before, discusses your goals, and suggests options so you can decide together which methods to try first and which to adapt as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can happen between other commitments. Licensed professionals can use online work to keep momentum between life events while focusing on the same therapeutic techniques used in person.
