Meet Kalen

About Kalen

Being queer or trans shouldn't mean having to explain or defend who you are in therapy. I work with 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent teens and adults, couples and partners, parents, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, life transitions, and the stress of living in environments that aren't always affirming. I also provide gender-affirming mental health care, including WPATH-informed psychosocial assessments and letters of support.

My goal is to offer a space where we can focus on what brought you to therapy without treating your identity, relationships, or family as the problem.

My approach

I want to collaboratively work with you to help you process difficult experiences, navigate what's happening in your life and relationships, and move toward the changes that matter to you. I draw from EMDR, Narrative, Collaborative, Solution-Focused, family systems, and somatic approaches, tailoring our work to you and your experiences.

About me

I'm a queer therapist with a PhD in Couple and Family Therapy and am an LMFT in Colorado, Iowa, and Wisconsin. My advanced training includes EMDR therapy and clinical and family trauma. I work with individuals, couples/partners, and families, with much of my practice centered on LGBTQIA+ communities, trauma, relationships, gender, and neurodivergence.
