Kristen endeavours to employ a collaborative approach in her work assisting clients to not only reaching their goals for treatment but become more effective problem-solvers when faced with future life obstacles. She has gained valuable knowledge and skills over the course of her education, training and clinical work and strives to provide quality care. Kristen also aims to build upon her knowledge and skills base, and fulfill her professional development needs and engage in lifelong learning into the future.
