Alongside therapeutic work, Kristen is passionate about the different tools that people can use in order to initiate holistic healing, including things like: nutrition, meditation, exercise, community, spiritual practices, 12-step programs, rest and fun!

Prior to becoming a therapist, Kristen worked in non-profit, pairing musicians with charity partners. When she’s not at the office, you may find her with her husband or friends, cooking, reading, tending to her plants, walking, running, biking, volunteering her time with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) or visiting family in her hometown of Austin, Texas.

For as long as she can remember, she’s had an endless curiosity about people. Her own experiences in life and in therapy have given her the gifts of struggle and healing. Becoming a therapist was her way to pay the latter forward, as well as to put her curiosity to good use.
