About me

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!

Krista is absolutely great. When I was struggling to accept the grieving of my old friend she helped me through that process. She’s very understanding and she absolutely does a great service!

Krista is the best therapist I’ve had since I started therapy. I will always recommend her because she makes me feel completely safe in all my conversations with her. She has never let me down and always there when I need her.
