Modern + relatable support for meaningful change and sustainable well-being

I’m here to help you feel emotionally equipped in a world that often demands more than it teaches. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, stress, or just trying to hold it all together—I offer therapy, coaching, and tools that actually meet you where you are.

Hi, I’m Kristen!

Finally, someone who just gets it

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and emotional wellness coach based in Newport Beach, CA. I work with ambitious, emotionally overloaded teens and young adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating relationships, identity, burnout, and self-doubt.

If you feel like you’ve done the self-work but still feel stuck, you’re not alone. I blend emotional safety with real tools so you can stop looping, start healing, and feel steady in your life again.

My Specialties:

  • Teens + developmental changes

  • Insecure attachment patterns

  • Breakup recovery

  • Anxiety, overthinking, and burnout

  • High-functioning depression

  • Emotional regulation + nervous system support

  • Creator/influencer overwhelm

  • Identity confusion and career/life transitions

  • Relationship issues + emotional abuse

My Approach:

Therapy with me is warm, real, and active. I don’t just nod and ask how you feel—we get in there together. We talk, we feel, we rewire.

Sessions are guided by:

  • Neuroscience (to understand your brain + body)

  • Attachment theory (to heal how you connect with yourself + others)

  • Parts work (to help all versions of you feel seen and safe)

My approach is a mix of practical and soulful. With working together, my hope is for you to feel both lighter and more equipped to handle life’s inevitable ups and downs.
