Find a therapist
Kristen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, seeing clients who live in Illinois and Tennessee. With over a decade of experience, Kristen utilizes a personalized approach to assist clients in uncovering the root causes of their challenges by gaining insight into their emotions and experiences. She works with individuals and couples that are ready to prioritize the work of therapy so they can be more self-aware, move through their days with more ease, and have more functional relationships. Whether you're navigating a challenging life transition, seeking authenticity in your interactions with others, or simply wanting to feel more at ease within yourself, Kristen offers a supportive space for exploration and growth.
Self-exploration is hard, but worth it! Maybe you've seen therapists in the past, and now find yourself seeking more from therapy than someone to listen. I strive to offer you concrete takeaways from our sessions. My goal is to increase your awareness of the role you play in your own challenges, help you lean into the empowerment in that, while also building your capacity to navigate the roadblocks of life.
