Kristen is drawn to this work by a deep desire to help people create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

She works to create a safe, welcoming space where clients can feel truly heard while exploring the experiences, identities, and patterns that may be shaping how they feel and move through the world.

Kristen takes a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to therapy and tailors the work to each client’s individual needs.

Her approach may incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian theory, strengths-based work, and creative or expressive techniques.

Kristen is especially passionate about working with neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients. She understands the challenges that can come with identity, stigma, societal expectations, and feeling different from the people or systems around you.

Her work focuses on helping clients build resilience, self-understanding, self-compassion, and practical tools that support greater confidence and connection.

Kristen earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and her Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University.

She has experience supporting queer, trans, and neurodivergent teens and adults, including clients navigating autistic burnout.

Kristen is currently interested in learning more about Emotionally Focused Therapy as she continues working with adult children of emotionally immature parents, clients with insecure attachment patterns, and people wanting to strengthen their self-confidence.

Cooking is one of Kristen’s favorite creative outlets, whether she’s trying a new recipe or putting her own spin on a classic comfort dish.

She has also played piano for most of her life and enjoys music as a way to unwind and recharge.

And whether it’s a live concert or a big game, Kristen loves being part of a lively crowd and the energy that comes with it.
