Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

From a young age I have always been curious about people. I remember going on long car trips and looking out the window wondering what were the life stories of the people I would see passing by me. As I grew older, that curiosity grew into a desire to help people who were struggling. In high school, I began volunteering and learning about how people can heal through human connection. I went on to the University of California, Santa Cruz, to study Psychology and Sociology to dive deeper into how our biological and environmental circumstances can impact our mental health. After college, I worked in the social services field and realized that I wanted to be on the other side of the helping field. I wanted to be in the room with people and bear witness to their stories. I went on to receive my Masters in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Long Beach. I have since gained therapeutic experience working in elementary schools, addiction treatment centers, crisis centers, and private practice settings. I have worked with a plethora of mental health issues and concerns.

Hi, I am Kirsten. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have always been fascinated by the human experience. My therapeutic style looks at how the past influences our present day functioning. How did you function and what did you believe about yourself before the world told you any different? By becoming emotionally aware and cognizant of our current beliefs, we can begin to heal our past wounds and become whole. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental, individualized, transformative experience for each person.

I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I am passionate about making a positive impact on individuals' lives by helping them manage and overcome mental health challenges. My motivation comes from witnessing the transformative effects of effective medication management and seeing my clients regain their quality of life. I am committed to continuous learning and improvement to provide the best possible care to those I serve.
