More about Kirsten
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and relationships. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and the complexities of family and romantic relationships. My approach is grounded in understanding how life changes—whether divorce, career shifts, or caregiving responsibilities—impact our sense of self and connection to others.
I'm particularly passionate about supporting women, young adults, and individuals exploring their identity and life purpose. I bring cultural awareness and a commitment to affirming all identities and experiences into my work. I specialize in helping clients improve communication, build self-love, and navigate workplace dynamics and family conflicts with greater clarity and confidence.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported without judgment. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you work toward meaningful growth and deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
