Fawn to Fortitude Counseling & Wellness, PLLC

I'm Kristen. I graduated with a Masters' from the University of Rochester in New York back in 2014. Since then I've lived in Oregon and Colorado, working with many different presenting problems, the reasons/concerns with which one comes into counseling. The work I love most is therapizing clients who find themselves people-pleasing* constantly, who notice the resentment building inside, and who experience the doubt that they can or are worth doing things differently. This often leads to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, low self-esteem, low sense of self-worth, and a sense of meaninglessness. We can do life differently. Our purpose in life is not to fawn and pretend our way through it. *people-pleasing = fawning = codependency
