About me

I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in both Oklahoma and Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a vocational counselor and psychotherapist. My experience includes providing counseling services to teens and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I describe my counseling style is as open and easy going; no pressure. I believe in the importance of building rapport. Therefore, my goal is to treat each individual with the upmost respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and client centered therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I believe the first step to counseling is self awareness. So, if you are seeking services, then you are half way there!

I look forward to working with you!

Krista provided valuable insights into how my childhood experiences are linked to my current behaviors. I strongly recommend working with her.

Krista is one of the most empathetic therapists I’ve had the pleasure of working with, she listens, doesn’t judge and always has encouraging words to make me feel better about my situation whatever it may be

Therapy with Krista exceeds my expectations. Her expertise helps me understand things within myself that I didn’t know before. She’s very tentative, versatile, and ultimately kind. I’ve already recommended her to a couple of people. Thanks Krista, looking forward to continuing my therapy with you.
