When we place ourselves first, we are able to create the life we want and deserve.

About Kristen
Throughout my life I have had a knack for helping others and have enjoyed seeing others work through difficult times in their lives. As a youth I have also had support from mentors and other adults in my life that have encouraged me to reach for my goals and dreams. I have seen the direct result of having positive healing in my life and I have made it my goal and mission to provide the same healing for others who have a desire to improve their lives. Through working with children in an after school setting, I have always been drawn to those children who were most difficult to love and it was there that my passion for working with individuals with trauma or difficult life circumstance began.
