Hello!
I’m Kristi. It’s nice to meet you.
Kristi Kanehen, MS, LMFTA
I work with BIPOC women who struggle with perfectionism, anxiety that feels like they "should" be able to manage on their own, and often feel like they are both too much and not enough.
I also work with multi-racial couples whose communication challenges leave them feeling unseen and misunderstood in their relationship.

I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing a variety of challenges as they navigate adult decision-making, relationships, life transitions, and general change.

I work with adults at all stages of their relationships; this can include dating, co-habitating, married, or somewhere in-between.
platonic relationship Therapy
I work with platonic relationships including friendships, roommates, and adult siblings. We work through a specific challenge, often around communication.

I work with adults (18+) who have or suspect they have OCD. I also work with people navigating OCD in their partnerships, families, or other significant relationships in their life.
What is wabi-sabi?
Wabi-sabi is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical worldview that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity.
It celebrates the natural cycle of growth and decay, encouraging the appreciation of rustic, aged, or flawed objects and experiences rather than seeking flawless perfection (OED).
The goal of therapy is not to eliminate or erase our past or our scars - but find a way to navigate the world with them and try to accept ourselves for who we are, flaws and all.
