About: Kristen believes that seeking out help through therapy is a courageous step and considers it a great privilege to come alongside and offer a healing space for individuals on their journey. Clients encounter a creative healing environment as Kristen uses a wide range of modalities including art therapy, AIR (Adaptive Internal Relationship) Networking, and EMDR. Kristen believes in collaboratively working with clients to meet their goals from a strengths-based perspective. Kristen helps clients to express emotions, identify healthy self-care practices and coping skills, find resonance with different parts of the self, heal from difficult or traumatic experiences, envision new possibilities, identify and strengthen their authentic self, and connect deeply with their sense of meaning and purpose.
Kristen’s greatest joy is to help people come alive and heal through art and other trauma-based therapies. Kristen also enjoys making her own art, connecting with family and friends, competing in triathlons, cooking, gardening, and exploring the wonder and beauty of the outdoors.
Kristen received her masters degree in Adlerian Psychotherapy and Counseling with a focus in art therapy at Adler Graduate School in Richfield, Minnesota and her bachelor’s degree was completed at Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
