About Kaprena Moore, CSW

  I am a mom, wife, therapist, foodie, musician, audiobook worm, and morning walk-taker. I’m sure I’m a few more things but these are my favorites right now. I come from a very big family, with 6 sisters and three brothers! Now that my siblings and I are having children of our own, we are roughly the size of a small village. I absolutely love my family. They are my best friends, in-laws included!  I met my Boone several years ago on a dating app (see his therapist profile for a little more of the story) after having been a single mom for a minute after my first marriage ended.

About Boone Christianson, LMFT

*Current wait to see Boone is 1-2 months, depending on the client's flexibility. I was born at Camp Pendleton, California, on March 23, 1995. I am the middle of 5 children, and have two brothers and two sisters. My father is a family physician, and was in the US Navy for the first 10 years of my life. My mom is a nurse. We lived in California, Guam, Florida, California again, and Italy. I went to Italian public school for a year, learned sufficient Italian to survive, but can’t speak much anymore. After, we moved to Provo, Utah, where I started 5th grade at Edgemont Elementary. I graduated from Timpview High School in Provo, after which I immediately left on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Mozambique/Swaziland (Southeast Africa). I spoke Portuguese. After returning, I defied my medical parents’ wishes and majored in Anthropology at Brigham Young University, with an emphasis in agricultural non-profit development. I worked several landscaping, tutori...
