About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania with over 20 years of clinical experience in the behavioral health field. I've worked with couples in a variety of treatment settings and understand the struggles of relationships at every stage. I am truly passionate about helping people in need, having decided to become a counselor at the age of 13. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from York College of Pennsylvania with a double major in Psychology and Sociology and double minors in Criminal Justice Corrections and German. I also received a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. My work as a counselor is not just a job, but a true vocation. I look forward to continuing to work to help couples find the peace, joy, and satisfaction they deserve in their relationship. Please note that due to the nature of the Regain.com platform, I am unable to write letters on my client's behalf.

We have only had one session but it was an extremely enjoyable time. She is an amazing listener and gives honest feedback. I feel like i am talking to a real human rather than a therapist who is numb to most situations. Been there, done that!

Even though we have had only one session, our therapist was attentive and informative. I feel confident that with time and effort on our part we will see progress and resolution.

Kristen is a wonderful therapist who has helped my partner and I work on our communication issues. Since we’ve started with her, we’ve gotten so much better at empathising with each other and resolving conflict.
