Therapy isn’t supposed to feel like performance.
It’s supposed to feel like relief.

I’m Kristen — a licensed clinical social worker who’s spent over 20 years supporting people through transitions, overwhelm, and deep life work. I live in South Portland, Maine with my family, and I understand firsthand the emotional labor, coordination, and internal pressure that come with being a capable, high-achieving woman and mother.

As someone who is neurodivergent myself, I intimately understand the cost of masking — and what it takes to stop performing and start feeling and living.

My Philosophy

I believe therapy should:
✔ feel safe and respectful
✔ move at your pace
✔ honor your nervous system
✔ help you reconnect with who you are — not who you’ve been trying to be

You don’t have to become someone new; you deserve space to finally be you.

Licenses & Experience

I’m licensed to provide telehealth therapy in:

• Maine (LCSW LC22711)

• Connecticut (LCSW 15013)

• Utah (LCSW 01409558-3501)

• Florida (Telehealth License TPSW5249)

I bring over two decades of clinical experience — from case management and early intervention to advocacy and therapeutic work — to help you build meaningful shifts rather than just coping strategies.

Who I Work With

Women (especially neurodivergent and high-achieving women and moms) who want:

• deeper emotional connection

• relief from chronic overwhelm

• support around unmasking

• integration of identity, nervous system work, and authentic self-direction

If you’re tired of performance-based healing and ready for connection-based growth, you’re in the right place.

My Invitation

Therapy should help you respond — not react — to your life.
If you’re ready for care that feels safe, respectful, and truly supportive, let’s explore that together.
