Professional statement

Hi; I'm Kerste I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I am a therapist/counselor who believes in the power of relationships and the great importance of validation. In the past I have worked with client's that have depression; anxiety; trauma; ptsd; family issues; relationship issues; emotional dysregulation and etc. I am a nationally rostered Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist; I am a fully certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I also have experience working with Autism Spectrum Disabilities and Traumatic Brain Injury.


Message to clients

I’m really glad you are taking this step. Many people worry they need a “good enough” reason for therapy, but support is for anyone who wants it. In our work together, we will focus on what matters to you and what you want to shift. I bring warmth and structure, and I will also help you build practical tools you can use outside of sessions. If you feel nervous about reaching out, that makes sense. We can start gently and go at your pace.
