Crista is genuine and caring. She reaches out to check up on you, which sometimes I need when life is moving too fast. Best therapist I’ve had on here.

Crista always provides me with a comfortable, open space in which allows me the opportunity to direct our areas of focus during our sessions. She has a way of making me feel safe while sharing my past experiences, my fears, frustrations and helps me to self reflect and recognize ways for me to manage them. Talking with Crista has been pivotal in the positive and empowering changes I’ve employed in my day to day life and relationships. Her expertise and guidance has supported my growth and helped me to feel more empowered, without beating myself up for my shortcomings.
