Kristen has been working in the field of social work since 2018. She is a certified Yoga Instructor, incorporating this into her counseling. She also has additional training in trauma-informed counseling and sexual violence, cognitive behavioral therapy, and is working towards certification for Somatic Experiencing with an expected competition date of 2024.

I am a registered social worker with a Master of Indigenous Social Work from the First Nations University of Canada. ​ I provide one-on-one counselling to adults and youth struggling with trauma including addiction, domestic violence, childhood neglect, relationship conflicts, anger management, anxiety, depression, grief, stress and difficulty coping, sexual assault, sexual abuse and thoughts of suicide.
