Our Therapist
Meet Kristen
Kristen received her MS in Counseling at West Texas A&M University, but she first began her career in education. As a school counselor, she witnessed how deeply trauma and chronic stress affect people, not only in childhood, but well into adulthood. The children she worked with did not simply “grow out of” their experiences; they carried them into their relationships, their nervous systems, and the ways they learned to survive the world. That understanding continues to shape her approach to therapy today. As Frederick Douglass noted, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” While early experiences cannot always be changed, healing and growth remain possible at any stage of life.
She works with individuals, families, and couples navigating high-conflict divorces, toxic or abusive relationships, co-parenting stress, and abuse recovery. She also supports clients through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the emotional exhaustion that often comes from prolonged stress. She is a Parenting Coordinator and conducts child custody and adoption evaluations.
She offers a supportive and honest space to build skills in emotional regulation, communication, and boundary-setting, while helping clients restore a sense of safety, confidence, and connection to themselves and the lives they are working to create.
For those who are interested, Kristen also offers Christian counseling, upon request, integrating faith-based support into the healing process in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
