 MSW, RSW

Registered Social Worker & Clinical Counsellor

Kirsten practices with a Master of Social Work (MSW) granted from Wilfrid Laurier University in 2020 and is a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW). Kirsten completed both a Bachelor of Psychology and a Bachelor of Human Justice at the University of Regina in 2011 and has worked in the human service field with children, adolescents, and adults ever since.

When Kirsten isn’t busy spending time with her husband and dog, she can be found expanding her knowledge to improve her practice. Kirsten has a wide range of interests, including trauma treatment, interventions for anxiety, stress management, and complementary approaches, including yoga, nutrition, and mindfulness. 

Kirsten began her counselling practice in September 2020 and, since then, has grown her practice to include additional therapeutic modalities and interventions. Kirsten is professionally trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and fully incorporates this in her practice. Her practice is further informed by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Kirsten has studied yoga professionally, focusing on trauma-informed yoga and is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with Yoga Alliance.
