Hi there, I'm krista!

I'm passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and practical support. I've had the privilege of working with children, adults, veterans, and individuals receiving hospice care—experiences that have deepened my understanding of the unique struggles people face at different stages of life.

My focus

I work with those facing life transitions, grief and loss, stress, trauma, or the challenges of balancing personal and professional roles. I value a holistic approach—honoring each person's strengths and goals while providing guidance to foster resilience and growth.

My approach

My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I meet people where they are, honoring their strengths and working together to create meaningful change. Whether you're navigating a difficult transition, coping with grief or trauma, or building healthier patterns, I provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered.
