HI! My name is Kristen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has experience working with individuals and groups for the past 10 years and prior to that I also worked as a certified and licensed recreational therapist. This allows me to utilize creative and expressive ways to interact in therapy. My style is that of being warm and genuine while helping you find your best self and sometimes incorporating humor. I also have a passion of working with women who need support throughout their journey of motherhood from prenatal to postnatal care. Reaching out for a supportive ear can be a challenge, so congratulations on your first step! Please let me know what questions you may have and I am excited and honored about the possibility of partnering with you through your journey!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kristen is an exceptional listener and after just one session with her, I feel immense relief. It's remarkable what a great therapist can do to your mental state -- and Kristen is wonderful at her job.

Reviewed February 2024

I’ve been in therapy with Kristen for a few months now. She is such a great therapist and overall a good person. She has helped me empower myself and cope with healthier tools, inspired me to do things that extend my comfort zone. Within months I’ve gone from panic and anxiety stricken to feeling empowered out in the world and my everyday life knowing I can handle it and trust that God is always with me. I would recommend her 100%!

Reviewed November 2023

Kristen is someone that truly takes time to go through all you bring to her. She reminds me of the things that matter and in our conversations things start to surface and as she prayed for me as every session ends it really builds up peace and comfort, knowing that our God is the one driving all these connections and conversations. He is not put aside but the one who makes the healing happen, through this counsellor. She is gentle, calm, understanding, and she constantly follows up throughout the week. It is overall a wonderful experience knowing her and being able to share my stories with her.

She's the bomb.com. Working with Kristen is like talking to an old friend. She calls you out when you need it and helps you understand things when you don't.

After a slew of rough interactions with a therapist, starting to work with Kristen has been a breath of fresh air. She listens to what I say and doesn't tell me that it isn't actually happening. She validates my experiences and gives me many ways to work through things beyond talking with her, specifically to get me through the moment of struggle.

I did therapy with Kristen for 2 months that envolved talking about my background, my current situation and my plans for a hopeful future. Kristen was was very helpful in listening to what I had to say but also helping me make my own decisions by guiding me through my thoughts instead of just telling me what I should be doing. To me, that’s the most helpful objective in therapy. Talking through my thoughts, feelings, actions and objectives in order to feel comfortable about where I am and what I want to be present day. Very grateful for Kristen’s help.

Kristen is an amazing, caring, compassionate therapist. I have been doing therapy with her for a little over 2 months, and the progress she has helped me achieve has been great! I discussed getting on anxiety medication with her for the first time in my life, and I gave it a shot and that along with the sessions has really helped me tremendously. She has helped me see myself in a light that I hadn't been able to. She has helped me find ways to manage my anxiety in healthy and positive ways. She is an amazing listener, I always joke that I barely let her talk but honestly just having her listen to me and give me such positive feedback and great vibes in all our sessions. She really is amazing and I am so happy I connected with her as I did. Thank you so much!!
