Hi, I'm Krista
Mom to a 3 year old daughter (who thinks she's the boss and has the heart of a lion), licensed clinical social worker, coffee devotee, and allergic-to-dogs dog mom.
Since you've landed here, you may be looking to make peace with your past to create something new for your future.
I provide down-to-earth, trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples looking to heal from shame, complex trauma, betrayal or infidelity, grief, loss, and other deeply personal challenges.
We might work well together if...
You want an open-minded therapist that names what they see
You’re looking for a warm, down-to-earth therapist who’s easy to talk to, not here to judge, and speaks fluent sarcasm. You want to be first understood and then gently challenged. Starting therapy can feel downright terrifying, and showing up anyway takes real bravery. We’ll dive deep when you’re ready.
My space is relaxed
Expect me in a something comfortable, maybe even a messy bun (depending on how much CEO energy my daughter gave me that morning), coffee (always), and the occasional appearance by my dog Maggie. I show up authentically and invite you to do the same. So get cozy, wear what feels good, eat a snack, and be yourself. We’ll take this one step at a time.
Therapy sessions are...
✦ 50 minutes online
✦ Available Fridays and Weekends
✦ Held via secure video (from your favorite comfy space, wherever you are in Florida)
✦ Non-pathologizing (we focus on your concerns and goals, not on fitting you into a diagnosis)
✦ Designed to be emotionally supportive, mentally stimulating, and ultimately healing
Qualifications and experience
I’ve been a therapist for eight years and a mom for three, and have had the privilege of walking with people through some of their most vulnerable moments. Nothing shocks me, and nothing is too messy for therapy. My role is to be a steady, grounding presence during the time that feels the most unsteady. Therapy becomes effective the moment you feel comfortable enough to talk about the uncomfortable. I'll be direct when needed, compassionate always, and never judgmental.
