Licensed Clinical Social Worker,

LCSW #22054 Exp 2/28/2028

Welcome to walk and talk with me, Kirsten! For 20+ years I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe the journey of life is about coming to know yourself — your whole self. Not just the parts that shine, but the parts that feel broken, rocky, or unfinished. It's in acknowledging those pieces that we begin to recognize the sunlight already shining through.

My work is warm, direct, and grounded in real conversation. I help people deepen their understanding of themselves so they can make clearer decisions and choices — the kind that let them not just get by, but truly thrive.

One of the ways I do this is through walk and talk therapy. We take our sessions outside, onto the trail, where the path itself becomes a mirror for life: the twists and turns, the rocky patches, the unexpected rocks and gems along the way, the shifts between sunlight and shadow. Moving through it together — literally — often opens up insight that sitting in a room can't.

If you're someone who wants to walk, talk, and learn more about who you are, I'd love to help you find some relief, and rediscover yourself along the way.

In my leisure time I like to walk and talk with family and friends, connect with those I love over a delicious meal, exercise and learn from other humans how they are living this complex, extraordinary and challenging life.
