About Me
Kristen provides trauma-informed therapy for adults, adolescents, and children who are navigating the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences. She supports individuals who may be struggling with relationships, emotion regulation, or functioning in school or work. For children and teens, this can also include concerns such as difficulty focusing, following directions, or managing behavioral challenges. Kristen offers EMDR therapy tailored to each client’s needs, incorporating approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and dance/movement therapy when appropriate.
She also provides EMDR services virtually for those who prefer or require remote care. Kristen is passionate about helping clients understand how trauma shapes their beliefs about themselves and Kristen believes that healing becomes possible in a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship where individuals can process their experiences and move toward recovery. She also can connect you to the full Rosecrance care continuum with more specialized outpatient services, and residential treatment and sober living facilities in Chicago and Illinois.
