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!

I have been working with Krista for a few months now and she has been a great fit for me. She helps me explore every aspect of any concern that I come to her with and she helps me open my mind enough to actually see what the root of the issue is. She has been a great help in my journey of bettering myself and I am happy to have her as my counselor.
