About Krista

Krista is passionate about walking alongside others in their journey to unlocking and embracing their authentic self. Krista graduated with her Masters in Counseling with an emphasis in clinical mental health from University of Central Missouri. Krista primarily uses a person-centered approach to counseling, meaning that the individual, couple, or child directs the session as they are the experts of themself. In counseling, Krista works alongside her clients to aid them in reaching their goals and uncover the tools and solutions they already possess. Krista sees the counseling relationship as transformative, and seeks to fully understand her clients. She is gifted in creating a safe, accepting, and non-judgemental environment that allows people to explore their fears and pain, develop their strengths, try out new behaviors, and experience healing and integration. 

Krista sees clients from age 4 to 99+ and has experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), people exploring their LGBTQIA+ identity, and Autism. She is also passionate about supporting people as they navigate body image issues, relationship challenges, and spiritual and religious trauma. Alongside person-centered counseling, Krista also uses a variety of approaches based on her clients needs, including self-compassion practices, sand tray therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and play therapy techniques.
