About Me

Hi, I’m Krista.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California with over eight years of experience providing counseling and mental health care. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California. In my personal life, I enjoy swimming, yoga, podcasts and time with my kids. In my professional life, I have worked with a broad range of adults in outpatient settings experiencing a wide variety of life challenges including substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma and stress.

My counseling style is centered on compassion and non-judgement. It would be a privilege to work to build a therapeutic rapport with you and listen deeply to your life concerns. When we confide in a trusted outlet, we can reflect and learn more about ourselves and our relationships and choices-- and hopefully, we can work to improve and adopt new and healthier ones by breaking negative patterns.

I tend to favor person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy, but I am also open to tailoring my approach to you based on your unique needs and preferences. I also have a lot of experience and training with motivational interviewing. I am also a huge fan of mindfulness exercises and would love to incorporate that into our sessions if you are open to it.

I strongly believe everyone could benefit from counseling. We all deserve to live abundant lives and embody our best selves. It shows true courage to reach out and be willing to access our vulnerability. I’m happy you have taken the first step toward new possibilities. I look forward to working with you!

Krista is walking me through the anticipatory death of my Mother day to day. She keeps me on track so I don’t completely self destruct. So if you want to know how it is in the here and now I am giving you the real deal.

Krista is awesome. I was nervous coming into this, as it was my first therapeutic experience ever, but she was very welcoming and understood everything I was saying. She's a great listener, and knows how to have a conversation properly flow.

Krista has been really helpful and very productive, shining a light on some insightful observations and offering daily advise and support.
Progress has been more than I could have wished for starting this process.
Very positive outlook too and has some killer advise throwing in some killer home work too to help with the day to day stuff too.
