My Background and Approach

At With A Purpose Counseling, we take a client centered approach. We are able to support your unique personality while still being honest and direct about conquering feelings and behaviors that continue to affect your day-to-day happiness and routine. We know how much people need to be seen and heard in order to function at their healthiest potential. Kristen is DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) trained and able to address problems with mood regulation. She can offer a range of coping skills to help you process current and pass conflict or trauma. Michelle has studied attachment disorders and can help address patterns of healthy (and unhealthy) attachment and nuisances of personality traits. Both clinicians are well versed in mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma informed practices.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone can improve their wellbeing and outlook on life with the right intervention! At With A Purpose Counseling, we know that depression can be an all-consuming experience. If you are just starting to experience mild symptoms of if you have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, we can support your journey to emotional wellness. Depression can make you feel helpless, hopeless, and alone. At With a Purpose Counseling, we can help you find your personal reasons to fight through the darkness and find a new beginning that enables you to look forward to tomorrow. Have you noticed you are stuck in the same problem/situation that you thought you would avoid this time? Habits that you've engaged in for as long as you can remember, but the habits feel unchangeable? You may be aware of the trauma that has been passed down through your family but aren't sure how to escape the grasp it has on your life. If you are ready to process the origin - we are here to assist without judgement!
