About Kristen
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, personalized care that addresses stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I have extensive experience helping clients work through family conflicts, grief, and self-esteem issues.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and meaningful life strategies. I’m particularly skilled in supporting clients through transitions like divorce, midlife changes, and periods of isolation. My work emphasizes communication skills, healing from shame and guilt, and developing healthier attachment patterns.
I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-compassion. Whether you’re struggling with mood disorders, chronic health challenges, or seeking greater life purpose, I’m committed to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

What clients say
- “I absolutely love having Kristen as my therapist because she understands what its like to live a day in life with chronic pain. Im not having to sit here and try to explain myself to someone who just looks at me like Im over exaggerating or being dramatic, Kristen knows because she also deals with her own issues. I am so thankful I found Kristen!”
- “Kristen has been an incredible therapist. From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt safe, heard, and never judged. She listens with genuine compassion while also challenging me to grow in healthy ways. She’s helped me better understand my PTSD/CPTSD, recognize unhealthy patterns, and work toward healing instead of just surviving.<br /> <br /> Therapy with her has given me hope that healing is possible, even after years of trauma. I leave our sessions feeling understood, encouraged, and with practical tools I can actually use in my everyday life. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping you become the healthiest version of yourself, I can’t recommend Kristen enough. I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on my healing journey.”
- “Kristen has been a voice of reason and comfort since I’ve been receiving therapy from her. She was a perfect match for me and I would highly recommend her!”
