Meet the Therapist

Hi, I’m Kristen!

AMFT #149665, Under Supervision by Angelica Carman LMFT #112225 of Revive Health Therapy

I’m a Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and nervous system educator—here to help you make sense of your emotions and feel more like yourself again.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in brand marketing. From the outside, my life looked polished and put together. But underneath, I was navigating heartbreak, insecurity, and the pressure to appear fine when I wasn’t. I know what it’s like to feel steady on the surface while struggling quietly inside.

That’s why I value creating a therapeutic space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. The fact that you’ve made it this far—even while carrying pain, doubt, or overwhelm—is proof of your resilience. My role is to help you see that strength and give you space to be your most honest self, however that looks: messy, undone, unsure, skeptical, overwhelmed, or imperfect.

I will do my part to earn your trust—to know you, your story, and your hopes and dreams—without judgment, with genuine encouragement, and with evidence-based strategies that create the safety needed to feel fully seen and understood. My goal is for you to feel equipped to ride the waves of life while also noticing the small, grounding things that support you and make it all worth it.
