Kristen is a psychotherapist who has been working in the industry for 15 years. She is also a survivor of perfectionism and anxiety, which later on developed into OCD and BDD. This fueled her passion of helping people who suffer the same things to a path of recovery, using her own experiences as a guide. In her practice, Kristen integrates a humanistic approach, integrating it into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Self-compassion Focused Therapy when treating her patients.

In this episode we talk about: 

◾️ Personal experiences that triggered her OCD ◾️ ERP, ACT, and CFT in OCD treatment ◾️ Kristen's personal struggles with mental health and how she deals with it today
