She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Kirsten uses practical strategies to help people notice patterns and change responses that cause conflict or ongoing frustration. She draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on the person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on relationship interactions and communication. Solution-Focused approaches help people set concrete next steps between sessions.

Kirsten’s background includes work in school, residential, and community settings where she supported clients through transitions and crisis. That range informs her practical focus on coping skills, stabilization, and clearer communication. Sessions emphasize learning specific techniques people can try in everyday life.

People who come to her often want straightforward help with managing strong feelings, repairing tension at home, or finding steadier routines during change. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details so you know which options are offered.
