Hi, I'm Krista
I am a Holistic Psychotherapist practicing virtually to residents of California, offering sessions over zoom or phone. I specialize in working with women experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, new and expectant parents, people with attachment or relationship issues, and those from dysfunctional family systems. I also have a focus in working with women who are perinatal with struggles around pregnancy and mothers who need more support in the transition from maiden to mother.
In addition, I work with couples who are stuck, are wanting to deepen their connection and relationship, those who want to improve their communication, and young couples who are on the path to preparing for marriage and parenthood.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #133297 and I received my masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 2018. I am a mother and enjoy hiking, watching movies, exploring new places, cooking healthy yet delicious meals at home, and learning how to garden.

it’s time to turn inward and listen.
Perhaps what you need most is time devoted just to you. A space for you to listen to yourself, reflect, and pay attention to the parts of you that haven’t had the time and space they need. A time where you can be curious and tune in to your emotions and have space held for you and your experience.
how therapy works
In our work together we will explore what is most important to you—what you most want out of this life. We will get in touch with what has gotten in the way and held you back in the past. We will reconnect you with your body and the subtle ways your body is communicating your needs and boundaries. We will work together through places where you have been stuck before with mindfulness, curiosity, and gentleness, bringing a new voice of kindness in place of a harsh inner critic, and making more aware and intentional choices. I bring presence, warmth, and compassion to our work, creating a safe space for you to look inward and discover the parts of yourself that are most wanting your attention. I am a depth psychotherapist, and practice a holistic approach, weaving together eastern philosophy with western psychology to create a unique, whole person approach to our work together. I am foremost a relational therapist, as I deeply believe in the healing power of relationships. Only through truly being seen by another can we come to truly know ourselves.
