Kirsten is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree in MFT who specializes in supporting individuals, couples, and teens navigating ADHD, birth and postpartum transitions, and the unique pressures of creative and entertainment careers. She also works with the neurodiverse population, helping clients embrace their strengths, build understanding, and develop tools for greater clarity and connection.

Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, Kirsten understands both the challenges and the gifts it can bring, and she supports clients in finding balance when life feels overwhelming. Her background in film and photography taught her to notice the moments in between—the subtle stories beneath the surface—which now guide her therapeutic approach.

Kirsten often describes her role as “seeing the game from the stands”: offering perspective and guidance that help clients recognize the patterns at play and make meaningful changes on the field. Whether she’s working with new parents, women in transition, teens finding their voice, or couples striving for deeper understanding, Kirsten creates a space where clients feel valued, supported, and truly heard.
