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.

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%!

Best experience with a therapist you could ever ask for. Everyone should use Kristin but especially if you are a Nurse or work in healthcare -this is your girl.

I cannot say enough positive things about Kristen. Aside from her extensive professional knowledge, she is a great listener, one of the kindest people I know, and truly cares about her clients.

Simply incredible. I have talked with Kristen for a long time now and every single session leaves me feeling stronger and more developed than I was before the session. I am convinced there is no better option for a therapist and she has everyone's best interest in mind completely. So incredibly thankful for her guidance and insight!

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. I've added many things to my daily routine that Kristen has taught me. Every single one of them works and helps me tackle my stressors in life one at a time. Don't over book her please. I called dibs already.

I knew in my first session that Kristen was the one for me. She has helped me so much in only a few short months, more than traditional face-to-face counseling. She has taken the time to get to know and understand me.

When first starting therapy I had no idea it would have so many positive impacts on my life. I'm truly grateful for Kristen! She's easy to talk to and is very passionate about her calling.

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.

She is wonderful.
Written on Dec 06, 2021 after therapy with Kristen for 2 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
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!!

Kristen is an amazing therapist who has helped me find ways to take control of my anxieties! For the longest time, I was resigned to letting my anxiety make me miserable, but Kristen gave me the tools, encouragement, and guidance to turn that around. She’s wonderfully kind and insightful, and explains things in a way that finally clicked for me. Kristen is an absolute miracle worker, and I am so grateful for all the progress she’s helped me achieve.

I am so thankful for everything Kristen taught me. She was a great counselor and I can honestly say I have learned so much about myself since starting with her. Thank you for the wonderful experience :)

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.

Kristen has been superb in regards to providing support for myself in just a few weeks. I believe she has explored all issues in which I sought to gain from counselling, plus more.
She has been very patient and understanding throughout our communication, both via video calls and messaging.
Kristen is a wonderful individual, with a warm nature and is truly living out her God-given calling and I would definitely work with her again in the future.
