About
Kirsten works with people who want to learn how to cope more effectively with stress, sadness, grief and loss, and anxiety. Kirsten loves to travel alongside LGBTQ folks as they find ways to reach their hopes and dreams for the future. Kirsten feels most effective working with people ages 9 and up. She especially enjoys helping teenagers and their families, and she also enjoys working with adults. Kirsten has been instrumental in developing and growing two pediatric gender clinics in Arkansas over the past 4 years to provide comprehensive care to transgender and non-binary youth and their families in our state.
Kirsten has 15 post graduate years of being a mental health professional and has worked in school-based settings, outpatient settings, grief support groups, medical clinics, and hospitals. Over this time, she had opportunity to hone her skills in walking with clients through everyday life challenges and during their most tragic moments.
Kirsten believes that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and patient. She has positive regard for people in all walks of life and respects each person’s racial, cultural, spiritual, physical, age, social economic status, educational, gender and sexual orientation differences. Please reach out if you feel she would be a good fit.
