Great to meet you!

Hey , I'm glad you're here. Reaching out is the hardest part, and it takes real courage to take that first step.

I'm Krista, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), and I work with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, big life changes,and relationship challenges. Basically, if life has been feeling heavy lately, that's exactly the kind of thing I help people work through.

My approach to therapy

My approach is pretty flexible- I pull from CBT,EMDR, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy depending on what actually works for you. There's no one-size- fits-all in therapy and I'm not here to hand you a cookie-cutter plan. I'm here to figure out what you need and work through it together.

What you can expect from me

My style is down to earth and collaborative. I want our sessions to feel like a conversation -a space where you can be honest, ask questions, and actually feel comfortable. If you are ready to start feeling more like yourself again , Id love to connect.
