Welcome!

Working with Adults

Life can be a lot. You might be feeling overwhelmed by transitions, stuck in old patterns, or just plain exhausted. Maybe you're trying to set better boundaries, deal with family dynamics, or manage stress from caregiving, relationships, or finances. You could be feeling anxious, down, or turning to things like alcohol or isolation to cope. If you're ready to take care of yourself, find balance, and feel more like you again, I’d love to support you through it.

Working with Teens

Being a teen isn’t easy. Maybe you feel misunderstood, like you can’t really talk to anyone about what’s going on. You might be dealing with school stress, self-esteem issues, or just trying to figure out who you are. Maybe you’ve been through tough stuff or feel alone in a crowd. If that sounds like you, I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and like you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

About Me

Hey, I’m Krista, most people call me Kris. (Yes, people still manage to mess up “Krista,” even family!) As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand firsthand how important it is to have a safe, non-judgmental space, navigating self-discovery, identity, and finding your voice. I’ve been working in mental health for over 20 years, supporting kids, teens, and adults in schools, detention centers, EAPs, and more. I’m also a full-time caregiver, so I get what it’s like to juggle a lot.

I use a person-centered approach with tools like CBT, mindfulness, and yes, humor! Sometimes we’ll cry, but we’ll probably laugh too. Music often makes its way into sessions because it helps us connect on a deeper level. My goal is to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and build the life you want!
