Hi, I'm Kristen!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, and the owner of Believe. Be Free. Be Well. PLLC (B3). My work sits at the intersection of mental and physical health with the goal of moving you toward freedom.

What I Do:

I provide individual and couples therapy, fitness/accountability coaching, and wellness programs. I work with clients in addressing unhealthy habits, emotional eating, codependency, poor boundaries, and addiction.

 

I also incorporate movement and exercise into my work to encourage physical wellness, mental fortitude, and confidence. Find out more about working with me HERE.

How I Got Here:

I'm a former college athlete who has always had a special interest in psychology and supporting others to create changes in their lives. I graduated with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012. My past work has included interpersonal violence counseling and outreach, school-based therapy for children and families, and family-focused addiction treatment.

Experiencing a difficult transition from a life revolving around sports to one with much uncertainty and adversity, I struggled with how to stay well - mind, body, and spirit. It's through my own journey that I began to understand the key components to overcoming the challenges life throws at us.

 

Though I feel I am now fully walking in my purpose, I also believe everything I have experienced, personally and professionally, has equipped me to walk alongside you toward your own personal freedom.
