Hi, I’m Kirsten (K-ear-sten)
I work with people who have been holding it together for a long time but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath.
Many of my clients are navigating ADHD, complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and questions around identity and self-worth. I especially support neurodivergent and LGBTQ2IA + folks, including those diagnosed later in life.
In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what hasn’t felt safe to feel.
Instead of pushing it away, we get curious about it. Anger and irritation often carry important information, and when it’s acknowledged, it can open the door to grief, clarity, and change.
My approach is psychodynamic, trauma-informed, attachment-based, and somatic. I don’t rush the process. We move at your pace, staying grounded in what feels manageable for your nervous system.
Together we will establish your north star goals, we will become self archaeologists and we will begin to build the relational scaffolding to start your journey.
