More about Kiersten
- 4 years' experience

- LCSW
I specialize in working with life transitions, stress, Anxiety, Depression, and parenthood. I believe in a holistic, person-centered, and empathetic approach to therapy. I am passionate about guiding clients toward answering their own questions in an informed manner that helps shepherd them toward positive change. I believe therapy is not a "one size fits all" so I enjoy exploring what works for each individual.
My therapy style utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
