About Krista
Krista trained at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, which is accredited by CACREP. Her graduate program included cognitive and behavioral methods and trauma-focused care. She has six years of clinical experience working with people facing a range of concerns including grief, depression, trauma, and LGBT issues.
Sessions emphasize solutions while keeping an attitude of unconditional positive regard. She uses evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques are also part of her toolbox for managing stress and cultivating present-moment skills.
For people affected by past trauma, Krista integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods she has pursued in post-graduate development. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship dynamics are part of the concern.
Krista works with individuals and couples through life transitions, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and communication struggles. Her sessions aim to be collaborative and practical, helping people identify small changes that build toward steadier emotional balance and healthier connections.

How Krista's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, withdraw, or react in close relationships and supports learning new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. It helps people clarify their goals and feel heard while they make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit what you want to address. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan as needs change.
