Kristen believes therapy is a collaborative process where meaningful growth happens through curiosity, intention, and active participation. She takes a compassionate yet direct approach, partnering with clients to explore patterns, build practical skills, and create lasting change. Her goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel both challenged and empowered as they work toward the life they want. Kristen specializes in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based approach that helps clients break free from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), behavioral science, and existential therapy, she helps clients develop greater flexibility, navigate uncertainty with confidence, and build lives that reflect their values
