About
Hi, I’m Kristen a therapist who works with high-performing executives who are used to solving big problems... just not always their own.
You’ve built a career by being sharp, strategic, and relentlessly driven. But at some point, the pressure, the pace, and the constant push for more starts to take a toll on your relationships, your sleep, your sense of self.
That’s where I come in. My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I’m not here to give you vague affirmations or ask, “How does that make you feel?” on loop. I’m here to challenge you, support you, and help you get honest about what’s working and what’s not.
We’ll dig into the real stuff: performance anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, control, identity... and we’ll do it in a space where you don’t have to lead, impress, or have all the answers. You get to just be human for once.
I believe therapy should be useful, efficient, and even enjoyable. If you’re ready to stop white knuckling it and start showing up with more clarity, intention, and ease let’s talk.

“Burnout isn’t a failure—it’s a call to realign. You’ve been pushing hard, carrying weight most can’t see. It’s time to restore your energy, sharpen your focus, and lead from a place of balance and clarity.”

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can be helpful if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply want support in navigating life’s challenges. Many people come to therapy when they’re experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or major life transitions, but you don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. If you’re curious about understanding yourself better, improving your well-being, or building healthier patterns, therapy may be a great fit. The best way to know is to start with a session and see how it feels for you.
What can I expect from the first session?
What can I expect from the first session?
The first session is a gentle starting point. You’ll talk with your therapist about what brings you here, what you’re hoping for, and what feels comfortable for you right now.
Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?
Do you offer both online and in-person sessions?
All sessions are held online through a face-to-face telehealth platform which you can access from the comfort of home or any private space. We offer flexible options to meet you where you are.
How often should I come to therapy?
How often should I come to therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come weekly, others bi-weekly or monthly. You and your therapist will decide what feels right based on your needs and pace.
Is everything I share kept private?
Is everything I share kept private?
Yes. Your sessions are completely confidential, except in very rare cases related to safety. Your privacy is always a priority.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes just showing up is the most important first step — and your therapist will guide you from there.
Do you accept insurance?
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance and are entirely private pay. We believe every client deserves a confidential, personalized treatment plan designed around their unique needs. This approach gives us the flexibility to meet as often or as little as you’d like, while keeping your information private and ensuring decisions are made solely based on what’s best for you, not dictated by outside requirements.
Who do you work with?

What outcomes can I expect?
