I believe that God has created everyone precious and that everyone has been given wonderful gifts and strengths that are simply waiting to be identified. My goal is to determine the best treatment course for my clients and help them reach their true potential. I am dedicated to providing the highest quality care to you or your child based upon each individual’s needs.
When it comes to testing, my goal is to help you or your child better understand each unique situation, and determine the best course of action based on each individual’s needs. I am experienced in testing in a variety of areas with individuals of all ages, including neurodevelopmental disorders, learning disabilities, and mental health disorders. Whether you are looking to identify CHALLENGES such as Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar or other disorders, or you are looking to identify STRENGTHS, such as High-IQ or learning potentials, I am always happy to help.
In addition to testing, I also provide counseling services to help individuals cope with crisis situations or everyday struggles including depression, anxiety, bipolar, OCD, and more. For counseling, I love working with adolescents, college students, and adults. I am experienced in helping clients work through a variety of struggles including suicidal thoughts, disassociation, self-harm behaviors, trauma, family problems, work/school stressors, and more. Additionally, I have a background working with at risk youth, working with children within the school setting, and working with families of military, law enforcement, and first responders. I believe that God has given every individual the potential to be successful if given the correct tools to fit their individual needs. I would be happy to help you or your child not only find these tools, but also learn how to incorporate them into everyday life to be successful.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Chapman University College. Following my Bachelor’s degree, I continued attending Chapman University College, where I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Upon completing my Master’s degree, I felt that it was God’s calling for me to continue my education and gain more knowledge to better serve my clients, so I decided to pursue my Doctorate Degree. I received my Psy.D. in Applied Clinical Psychology through The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and am now a Licensed Psychologist.
As an intern during my Master’s program, I worked with New Beginnings and Group Home Support Services, providing therapy services and case management to adolescents living in group homes through the foster care system. Through this experience, I gained knowledge working with crisis intervention, high-risk behaviors, substance abuse, trauma, attachment issues, and other mental health concerns. While completing my Doctorate program, I worked at The Gary Center, providing services to underserved populations. This is where I began my testing experienced, and learned my passion for guiding clients and their therapists to an individualized treatment path. Next, I began my journey as a psychological assistant at The Vine Counseling and Psychological Services. While working in the private practice setting, I have greatly expanded my range of knowledge and experience, and have and have learned my love for working with clients on a more individualized level. As part of my journey, I have also had the privilege to work with Linfield Christian School and Bethel Seminary, helping students identify and overcome challenges within the educational setting. As a licensed psychologist, I strive to continue growing my knowledge and experience to best serve my clients.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
My approach to therapy varies based on each unique situation. For many clients, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) techniques to help them learn healthy coping skills and challenge negative thinking patterns. For other clients, I help them process and work through trauma or daily stressors that may be weighing them down. I also guide my clients in improving interpersonal conflicts and implementing healthy boundaries in order to improve relationships, improve self-worth, and increase self-esteem. Although these are common therapeutic techniques in my practice, I also recognize that God has made everyone unique, therefore one approach does not fit all. To fit each person’s unique needs, I listen to my clients and help guide them in the direction that best fits their personality and points them in the right direction to reach their goals.
I enjoy helping others and love watching people work towards reaching their full potential. If you believe that you or your child would benefit from testing or counseling services, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to speaking to you soon!

It is nearly impossible to go through life unscathed by periods of hardship and difficulty. These moments can leave you with emotional scars that sap away your joy and happiness. Whether you are experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, or a variety of other concerns, I am here to walk alongside you, supporting you on your journey toward healing.
In addition to adults, I work with children and teens, both individually and in collaboration with their caregivers. Every child can respond to stressors differently and it can often feel overwhelming trying to find a way to support them. Whether you are looking for help navigating oppositional behaviors, have a teen dealing with anxiety, or anything in-between, I am able to help.
I know one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to therapy, so I will work collaboratively with you in identifying the treatment methods most effective in helping you reach your unique goals. I have experience utilizing various therapy models, such as CBT, DBT, Narrative, & Solution-Focused. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—an evidence-based treatment that is geared toward helping children and teens overcome trauma.
Additionally, I am able to incorporate a Christian, faith-based perspective into treatment for those who are interested. I understand how important one’s faith can be when it comes to the healing process, so it is my goal to create a nonjudgmental space where you can approach your struggles through a biblical lens, as well as examine, question, and reflect on your beliefs as your comfort level dictates.
Kristen received both her BA in Psychology (2016) and MS in Clinical/Counseling Psychology (2018) from California State University, San Bernardino. She has worked in community mental health for the past three years, gaining experience with both children and adults dealing with a wide range of mental health concerns.

What a blessing it is to me to bless other people. I’ve made that statement many times over the past ten years of serving in ministry with homeschool families, and every time I’ve said it, I’ve meant it. I bring that same mindset to this job as well, and I look forward to helping you navigate through the sometimes frustrating obstacles of insurance and billing protocols.
In addition to my work as a homeschool tutor, I also have experience as a personal executive assistant to several businessmen, in varying industries. I’ve also worked in both small and large retail environments, but my primary skills (and certification) lie in computer applications. I love using those skills to serve others, including volunteering with my church’s online community.
My greatest passion, though, is Creation Apologetics, and I love that I get to volunteer for a number of Creation ministries, sharing and teaching the good news of the Bible, from cover to cover. This broken world we live in makes for a lot of challenges, and life can get pretty overwhelming sometimes. It is a comfort to know that our God is faithful. I’m blessed to be part of a Christian Counseling service where I can serve people who are struggling and need compassionate guidance from counselors who love the Lord.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
My theoretical orientation focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, however, I also use some techiques from the Polyvagal Theory, Existential Theory, Solution-Focused and Schema Therapy. I work primarily with depression, anxiety, ptsd and trauma. As a practitioner who is certified in trauma I am trained to recognize and treat the deeply embedded life experiences you may have suffered. My approach is holistic, meaning that I treat the whole person and address all aspects of care, including any existing medical conditions that may adversely affect your mental health. My belief in the use of talk therapy integrated with holistic practices creates a healing environment that is safe, judgment free and and conducive to living your best life now.

As we journey through life, every one of us has undoubtedly come across a period or another, where we’ve felt difficulty or struggle. Sometimes, it may be challenging to a point where we feel isolated or want to give up. Even through those times, I am a firm believer that healing can happen to anyone at anytime. From the beginning steps, to when you feel safe to begin navigating life on your own again, my hope is that I will be able to support you along the way, whatever your needs may be.
As every person has their own unique background and story, I look to incorporate different approaches in therapy while also recognizing other aspects, such as cultural identity and generational impacts. I am largely experienced in CBT, DBT, narrative therapy and TF-CBT for those who may have encountered trauma. More than anything, my goal is to maintain an ongoing conversation with you to ensure that we collaborate together in the process.
I am also a Christian clinician who can incorporate faith-based treatment into sessions at your request. Although we accept clients of any background and spirituality, I would be more than happy to pray with you and explore what Biblical Counseling could look like as a part of treatment, if you are interested.

“You cannot go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”
~ C.S. Lewis
Most of us find ourselves trying to get through life carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or heartbreak; believing that there will never be any relief, we must endure those heavy burdens as long as we live, and peace will never find us.
However, I am here to let you know that is not true. You can find freedom from your pain through therapy. Through therapy, one can learn how to manage complicated emotional scars and learn to acquire tools that are peace-fostering. My passion in life, as a therapist, is to create a safe space for my clients ~ to empower them so that they may find their inner strength and find relief from their suffering.
My Theoretical orientation includes Person-Centered, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR. I am experienced and trained to help bring a new level of healing and hope to those who have experienced trauma or PTSD through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I have vast experience working with clients throughout the lifespan in a variety of struggles, including but not limited to, childhood trauma, emotional and physical abuse, and substance abuse.
I am happy to incorporate faith-based, Christian Counseling into your therapy upon request. Christian counselors connect faith with psychological principles to enhance a person’s mental and emotional well-being. Christian counseling uses teachings from the Bible and Scripture to help promote healthy coping mechanisms. In your first session, we will discuss whether you are comfortable with incorporating prayer, Scripture, and Biblical principles into your psychotherapy sessions, and your preferences will be respected.

Life can be hard! Sometimes we need someone to walk with us through the hard stuff. My job as a therapist is to partner with my clients in a holistic process of renewing the mind and reconnecting with the body. My therapeutic process is built on a Solution-focused, Strengths Based foundation utilizing evidence-based therapies grounded in CBT, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Positive Psychology, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, and many others. My therapy room will provide a safe space for you to process your life experiences. I present with a relational, open, and non-judgmental style of therapy where my client’s voice, inherent value, and strengths will be recognized, encouraged, and developed.
I have specialized training focused on the development and treatment of children, teens, and young adults. I have also gained valuable experience working with women across the lifespan who are experiencing various life struggles and transitions such as grief, parenting dilemmas, and crisis. I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and many types of relational struggles. I welcome anyone rediscovering and reconstructing themselves after traumatic experiences or loss, whether through trauma, abuse, change, “church hurt”, family crises, or any other type of transition. My experience also includes leading group therapy with Foster/Adoptive Families, College Students, and Children who have experienced loss.
Therapy is about strengthening you! I will work with my clients to strengthen the inner self and help them to stand strong as we build coping skills and regulation techniques. I can include Christian Counseling at whatever level my clients are comfortable. My style of Christian Counseling is built on the same psychological principles and foundations mentioned above but views them through a Christian lens. If clients prefer this option, therapy sessions may include deeper discussions about God, incorporating Scripture, and prayer. All preferences will be respected.
One of life’s greatest gifts is our ability to use our mind. But our minds can also be a constant source of struggle. The process of recapturing our thoughts, by training our mind, body, and spirit to hold on to what is good and true, is what therapy is all about. I would be honored to partner with you as we work to strengthen you mind, body, and spirit to bring about a life filled with peace.
