Services Offered
Couples Counseling
Kristen provides relational support through the dating, pre-marital, and marriage stages of relationship. She guides couples through learning to communicate, equipping them with tools for conflict resolution, and inviting them into a deeper intimacy, respect, and affection with one another. As a firm believer in "relationship maintenance," Kristen encourages couples to tend to their relationship in all seasons, not just in crisis.
Individual Counseling
One on one counseling with Kristen offers the client a compassionate, empathetic space where the journey of transformation can take place. She works with the client to understand their unique story, in the larger context of God's purpose and plan for their lives. Working together to make sense of the tangled web of thoughts, feelings, and experiences, she joins the client in developing skills for problem-solving, decision making, emotional regulation, and clarity of purpose. It is Kristen's greatest honor to be a companion and witness to transformation in the life of her clients. Note: walking and outdoor sessions available for individual therapy.
Sport Counseling
Sport counseling is for athletes, coaches, parents of athletes, weekend warriors, or anyone involved in sport. Sport counseling helps athletes and their families as they navigate athletic, personal, family, identity, and mental health issues. Kristen's extensive background working with athletes as a mentor, coach, counselor, and performance coach has equipped her to come alongside her clients who are in the athletic area.
