Why Healthcare
Kirsti knows firsthand that therapy works for those who are ready for it: she credits her own experience in therapy with helping her to understand herself better and live a healthier life. It ultimately led her to transition out of her career as a Police & 911 Dispatcher and become a therapist herself. This personal growth fuels her desire to help others make changes in their own lives and reach their full potential.
