Speaking & Events
Hosting a memorable event requires passion for the people you intend to reach. Choosing the right speaker is key to turning your vision into reality. As an experienced therapist and engaging speaker, Kristen brings warmth, wisdom, and a grounded perspective to conversations about emotional health, relationships, identity, resilience, and personal growth. Her approach blends professional expertise (20 years of engaging collegiate classrooms and public speaking events) with the perspective that comes from years of helping clients navigate the complexities of real life. As both founder and retreat leader for KH Counseling Holistic Health Retreats, Kristen understands exactly what it takes to effectively engage with an audience.
Whether speaking at an event, wellness retreat, conference, business or personal development gathering, Kristen creates an atmosphere where attendees can exhale, reflect, laugh, and recognize themselves in the conversation. She has a gift for making meaningful psychological concepts approachable and relevant—moving beyond clinical language to offer insights people can understand, remember, and apply to their own lives. Her presentations can explore topics such as boundaries, anxiety and overwhelm, relationships, faith matters, life transitions, self-worth, emotional wellness, caregiving, grief and loss, burnout, and rediscovering a sense of purpose.
Kristen also specializes in improving interpersonal relationships within organizations. When employees enjoy working with one another and communicate effectively with one another, productivity increases and turnover decreases. Kristen is passionate about improving work relationships and environments, and is available for business consultation and speaking events.
Every event and audience is different, and Kristen works with organizers to create a presentation that fits the people in the room. From an intimate retreat conversation to a keynote-style presentation, her goal is to leave attendees feeling understood, encouraged, and equipped with a healthier perspective on themselves and the lives they are building. If you’re looking for a speaker who combines the credibility of an experienced therapist and college professor with warmth, relatability, and genuine connection, Kristen can bring a thoughtful and memorable voice to your next gathering.
