About Kristen
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Santa Fe after graduating from college. I have many years of experience working with vulnerable individuals and communities as a medical social worker, including people living with HIV/AIDS and chronic physical/mental health conditions. I have a person-centered approach, believing in the inherent dignity and worth of all individuals. In addition to working at PMS, I teach a Community Health Worker training course at Santa Fe Community College. When I am not working, I like to read, travel, and spend time with my family, including my pets.
