Finding our way back to ourselves and each other
The world can be overwhelming. Expectations pile up, noise fills the space, and old patterns echo louder than your own thoughts. It’s easy to lose touch with who you are.
Mental health therapy virtual or in-person (Ogden, Utah)
Many people who come to us are capable, caring individuals who’ve reached a breaking point. You might see yourself in this.
-
Everything feels like too much. Your mind is always on, your body rarely rests, and even small tasks can feel exhausting. You’re managing a lot—but it never quite feels like you’re keeping up.
-
Part of what keeps old patterns in place isn't a lack of effort — it's an unregulated nervous system. Together, we'll work on building your capacity to recognize your triggers, pause the automatic response, and practice nervous system regulation so that change actually becomes possible.
-
Somewhere along the way, you lost touch with what you feel, need, or want. Decisions feel uncertain, and it’s hard to trust your own voice or direction.
-
You’re used to being the one who holds it all together. Even when things feel heavy, you keep going—but underneath, there’s a quiet sense of loneliness or fatigue that’s hard to share.
★★★★★From the moment you walk in, you feel at ease—never rushed or judged. Kristen is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you understand yourself more deeply. It’s a place where real growth feels possible.

Registered Dietitian · Registered Nurse · Mental Health Therapist
Most therapists can hold your emotions. Most dietitians can talk about food. Most nurses understand your body. Kristen does all three, and that changes everything about what's possible in a session.
She works with adults who are tired of feeling stuck: in their bodies, in their relationships, in a version of themselves they don't quite recognize anymore. Whether you're unraveling a complicated relationship with food, finding your footing as a new parent, navigating a faith transition, healing from trauma, or trying to hold a relationship together that feels like it's fraying, Kristen creates a space where none of it has to be explained away or broken into pieces.
Her approach is grounded in EMDR, Somatic Eating, Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size, and Walk and Talk therapy — and she pulls from a variety of cognitive and body-based holistic approaches, such as CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Polyvagal approaches, Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology — all delivered with the kind of presence that makes you feel less alone from the very first session.
“We are wired to heal. Like the ability to survive, healing is written into our biology. As long as we are living, the capacity to heal is in us, waiting for the right conditions to come to the fore.”

FAQS
I am ready for therapy?
-
Both! I see clients in person in Ogden, Utah and offer virtual sessions. If you're local and love the idea of a Walk and Talk session — therapy outdoors, in movement and nature — that's an option too. We'll figure out what format works best for you and your life.
-
Yes. I am currently in-network with the following plans:
Cigna
DMBA
EMI Health
Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
SelectHealth
PEHP
UnitedHealthcare
University of Utah Health Plans
Not sure if you're covered? I'd encourage you to reach out to your insurance provider directly to confirm your benefits, or contact me and I can help point you in the right direction.
-
Individual therapy — one-on-one counselling for anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, Faith crisis/deconstruction, healing disordered eating and body image issues, perinatal/pregnancy/post-partum/parenthood/motherhood, self-esteem, and coping skills.
Couples therapy — relationship counselling for communication, conflict resolution, trust, and intimacy issues.
Trauma-focused therapy — evidence-based care for PTSD and complex trauma, including EMDR and trauma-informed approaches tailored to your nervous system and history.
Rather than working from a single framework, I draw from a variety of cognitive and body-based holistic approaches depending on what you need. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Somatic and Polyvagal approaches, Attachment Theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology. This means your care is never one-size-fits-all — it's built around you, your story, and how your mind and body are showing up right now.
