About

We grow by listening, acting, and transforming

As someone with close personal experience of healing from past relationship trauma, I am passionate about helping you find peace in your life, while also creating it in your relationships. You can heal from the past, grow in your environment, and create a happier and brighter future. Together, we can challenge negative thoughts and learn to let go of past traumas, hurts, and betrayals. I am here to heal your past wounds and open you to new experiences. From a current client, "Kristen provided me with a safe space as I started my personal healing journey and continues to do so. It's been almost two years now and our sessions just keep getting better. Kristen makes me feel so empowered and I am so thankful to have her in my life." I am experienced and knowledgable in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman Method, and EMDR. I love live music, hiking in the Arizona desert, and just existing and relaxing with my family. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University in 2018.
