Hi! I am Trista! I have worked in the mental health field since 2011. My experience includes substance abuse treatment, family dynamics, trauma, and personality disorders. As I have grown in my career, I have found a passion in working with women who have begun their healing journey and desire not only to find but to embrace their identity.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to listen deeply, meet you where you are, and walk alongside you as you find your own clarity and strength. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Trauma-Focused approaches, matching the method to what you
actually need rather than a one-size prescription. Using motivational interviewing, I help you uncover your own readiness for change at your own pace. Our sessions are collaborative, structured as much or as little as feels right, and always in service of the life
you are building.
Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I will ask about your goals, what life would look like if things felt better, and what has or has not worked in the past. You do not need to have it all figured out. By the end of our time together, you will leave feeling heard and with a clear sense of where our work will focus.
