More about Kristen

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Level 5 Certified Trauma Therapist, I believe in a holistic approach that mends and heals the mind, body and spirit. For the last 16 years, I have worked with adults, couples, families, children and adolescents, assisting them with improving the quality of their lives.

I promote a safe environment built on open communication and trust that will assist with you feeling comfortable along your journey. We will compose goals collaboratively and work together to achieve them. Although many of us have been trained to believe we can do it on our own, it is okay to ask for help. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
