“PARTICIPATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE IS WHAT'S MOST EMPOWERING"
ABOUT
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
HI, I'M KJERSTEN
ABOUT ME
I am a personable, passionate, and genuine clinical mental health therapist who aims to treat the whole person. I strive to cultivate brave spaces for my clients to talk about the surface level material, and everything underneath. When you work with me, I will help you see all of the “puzzle pieces” of your life and examine the big picture together. One-by-one, I will help you put all the pieces back together again in a way in which means meaning and builds satisfaction.
Nobody knows you better than you know yourself. I focus my efforts on understanding clients’ experiences to help tap into and harness their strengths to overcome life's challenges and work toward embracing a meaningful life.
I believe that success is defined by the client. I use an integrative and client-centered approach tailored specifically empower and instill hope in my client’s lives. I also utilize my educational background and experience to incorporate cultural and trauma-informed care, to increase awareness, motivation, and renewed confidence to help encourage you to adopt new thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that better serve you.
I view my clients holistically and with a humanistic lens to gain understanding of their experiences. I practice client-centered care and trauma-informed care, while incorporating an attachment-based viewpoint. I focus my efforts on my client’s perception of their lives to help bring hope and change to the issues they choose to address.

Attachment and Developmental Challenges
I’m a firm believer in designing your own life, creating lasting change, and owning your victories.
I love what I do because it’s equally challenging as it is rewarding. I get to meet so many people with unique experiences and help them become more confident in themselves and their lives.
I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in addressing needs related to trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment, developmental challenges, psychosis, relationship issues, codependency issues, attachment styles, grief, and loss.
I approach therapy with the idea that what you tell yourself day-in and day-out has a huge effect on how you experience your life. Our thoughts affect the way we feel and the way we behave, so it’s an important starting point for therapy.
