Couple Therapy

Finally, a safe and supportive space to address concerns, seek understanding, and reestablish trust.

Traditional therapy often fixates on the past, but I care more about helping you heal forward. As a trauma-informed therapist with seven years of experience, I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s many transitions.

Drawing from evidence-based modalities, my approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. That means I’ll meet you where you are, call out the patterns that aren’t serving you, and cheer you on as you grow.

"The progress I’ve made has been life changing"

“Working with Kristen completely changed my life! When I first started, I was struggling with agoraphobia and couldn’t imagine traveling or starting school. With the tools, support, and encouragement I received, I was able to take my first trip away from home and now I’m planning even bigger adventures, including traveling out of the country. I also started school at ASU– something I never thought would be possible. The progress I’ve made has been life changing, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am without Kristen’s help. I am so grateful for the growth I’ve experienced and the confidence I now have to move forward and live my best life.”

Client struggled with agoraphobia, age 27

"therapy helped us see that healing was possible"

“After infidelity, we felt broken and unsure if our relationship could survive. The pain, anger and mistrust seemed impossible to move past. Through couples therapy with Kristen, we were given a safe space to be honest, work through the hurt, and learn how to communicate in healthier ways. Kristen guided us with compassion and gave us the tools we needed to rebuild trust and reconnect. While it wasn’t easy, therapy helped us see that healing was possible.”

"Instead of feeling powerless, I now feel informed, grounded and supported"

“After experiencing a traumatic birth with my son, I was overwhelmed with fear and anxiety about my upcoming delivery. I felt stuck in the memories of what had gone wrong before and couldn’t imagine moving forward with hope or confidence. Through therapy with Kristen, I was able to process my birth trauma in a safe and supportive space. She helped me release the fear I was holding onto and gave me tools to cope with anxiety as I prepared for my next birth. Instead of feeling powerless, I now feel informed, grounded and supported. Therapy allowed me to approach this next chapter with healing, strength, and a sense of power I never thought possible!”
