About Kristen
Hi, I am Kristen. I specialize in Mood disorders, ADHD, Substance use, and personality disorders. I like to look at the therapist and client relationship as a partnership where we both are rowing the boat instead of one person giving directions while the other one is doing all the work. Fun fact about me is I have two dogs who often will make an appearance in my therapy sessions named Winnie and Bear.

About MeWhy did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a therapist to help clients feel less alone and to reduce the stigma of mental illness. What motivates me is my clients and watching them grow and build mastery while living their life worth living.
About MeHow can you provide care remotely?
How can you provide care remotely?
When I first started doing telehealth (the start of the pandemic) I thought that it would never be the same as in person therapy. I was wrong, I find that my relationship with my clients is the same and that the things I thought would be missed in person therapy are not missing. I also think that there is something about inviting a person into your home. My clients see my home office and they often see my dogs these are things they would not see in an office.
