Getting to know Krista

Do you ever feel like you are the only one…? The only one who feels this way, the only one who struggles with [you name it], the only one who wonders if there is anyone that can help? If so, Krista is the counselor you should meet. She is a firm believer that every person’s story is unique and worthy of sharing. She understands that our experiences impact how we perceive ourselves, our lives, our journeys, and our relationships. She has experience working with individuals, couples, and teens, with a wide array of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, communication, and developmental differences. She is currently working as a graduate-level intern. 

Collaborating with you through your unique process

Krista believes that counseling is a highly individualized process, created through collaboration and trust between herself and the individuals. With this in mind, she incorporates diverse therapeutic philosophies to create a personalized treatment plan for each client. Krista seeks to create an empowering and supportive therapeutic environment and make each step of the process as comfortable as possible for her clients. She draws on concepts from person-centered, narrative, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

A story to tell

Krista’s story began in the Midwest and took her to Oregon, California, and now north Texas. Her interest in helping others began with her earliest memories and eventually led her to the pursuit of professional counseling. When she began college, she was studying psychology but then stumbled upon communication studies. She became captivated by the effect of quality communication in all types of relationships. She saw the power of effectively listening to and understanding others and its ability to foster healing and connection. God continues to reveal ways that Krista can use her story to open doors for opportunities to walk alongside and support others in their journeys.

She has extensive experience facilitating groups for women struggling with betrayal trauma, supporting individuals facing addiction, and guiding teens as they learn the importance of healthy boundaries, relationships, and self-worth. Her faith is the foundation of her work and guides her in all she does.

Laughter, quality time, and relaxation

When Krista has free time, she loves to laugh and spend quality time with friends and family. She loves live comedy and can be found listening to or watching comedy podcasts and documentaries. A perfect day would include hanging out and laughing with her loved ones, watching a game, sharing a meal, taking a walk, or sitting outside. Krista has been married for more than 25 years and is a mom to their three children and loves watching their unique personalities, interests, and talents develop.
