Welcome to a therapeutic journey of self-discovery and growth! With over a decade of experience as a Mental Health Social Worker, I've had the privilege of guiding diverse individuals through life's complexities. Each unique experience has honed my skills in various evidence-based practices, shaping my approach to providing support. Life holds both beautiful moments and profound challenges. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by emotions like uncertainty, anxiety, isolation, depression, grief, guilt, fear. These feelings can intensify our sense of separation, making it difficult to navigate alone. I create a safe and welcoming environment where people can work through hurts, fears, and frustrations towards healing as it relates to the complexities and challenges in life. My goal is to help others integrate a deeper experience of peace, contentment, and love into their lives using a holistic approach to care. I'm here to assist you in navigating life's complexities, fostering growth, and facilitating transformation by connecting with a sense of wholeness. Discover more about my approach at wholeselfgr.com and take the first step towards a therapeutic space for healing and growth. *Kristen works with adults and children (12+). She also speaks Spanish.

Life changes and personal growth are inevitable, and sometimes can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. ESPECIALLY attending college, being on our own for the first time, and trying to figure out this “”adulting” thing. A lack of change or growth can cause us to feel unhappy with ourselves. Whether you are struggling with adapting to changes in life or are feeling stuck, or feel pressure to trying to figure out your future, I’d love to help you! My approach is to meet you wherever you are (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or physically) and help you set goals (at your pace) that you want to accomplish in therapy. My goal is to offer you a laid-back, sometimes fun, safe place for you to process your challenges, to feel supported, and to build confidence in your ability to initiate that desired change; or face those scary, inevitable changes. I received my Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University. My experience has been focused on working with children, adolescents, and families in residential, school and home-based, and inpatient mental health treatment settings. I have a background in working with mild to severe mental health issues including anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation/self-harm, perinatal/postpartum issues, bipolar and related mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, and co-occurring disorders. Therapeutic approaches I commonly utilize are Motivational Interviewing, Brief-Solution, Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills, and Mindfulness Practices.

As parents, we can feel overwhelmed by the task of raising successful, happy children and life these days sure doesn't make it any easier. My goal as a therapist is to provide kids and families with tools to not only heal, but to thrive. In 2013, I graduated from Michigan State University with a Masters in Social Work. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and have developed a deep passion for providing evidence-based treatment to children and families who have experienced trauma. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and trauma. I incorporate trauma informed interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic techniques. Each child is different, and each family they are a part of is unique as well- I make every effort to tailor your therapy to you and your family's needs.

Immediate availability (updated 5/27/2026). I work with individuals who are looking for a space to feel heard, valued, supported, and understood. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, openness, and support. My style is rooted in attachment and relational work, meaning we’ll focus on how your relationships, past and present, shape your experiences. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, connected, and nourishing, where you can explore painful patterns, build trust, and deepen your sense of self. With over a decade of experience across an array of clinical settings, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, loss and grief, trauma, stress and burnout, attachment wounds, living with or caring for an individual with chronic illness, parenting challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to help you expand your capacity for wholeness, so you can feel more ease, closeness, and connection in your life and relationships. Through attunement, understanding, and genuine care, we’ll work toward helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered. If you'd like to learn more, check out my website!

Are you looking for self-growth? Do you desire more harmony and peace within? Many of my clients see patterns in their lives that they want to change, often with thoughts, emotions or relationships. Learning to approach ourselves and our own stories with compassion improves our inner lives as well as our connections with others. If you’re looking for a space to process your life and find relief from old patterns, please feel free to reach out.
