Hey , I'm glad you're here. Reaching out is the hardest part, and it takes real courage to take that first step.
I'm Krista, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), and I work with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, big life changes,and relationship challenges. Basically, if life has been feeling heavy lately, that's exactly the kind of thing I help people work through.
I am an LCSW, psychotherapist, with 12+ yrs experience in the Mental Health field. I have worked in many different Mental Health Settings such as: Residential, IBHS, Drug/Alcohol, and Community Based. Specializations include: CCTP, EMDR, and Anxiety, Depression.
I have been a clinician for over 25 years, work with clients to try to figure out what is needed now and am willing to do that with you
Growing up in Africa as part of a large family with limited resources, I learned the values of resilience, perseverance, and community. My journey was not without challenges. I struggled with confidence, questioned my worth, and often felt unseen and ignored . Those experiences shaped my understanding of how deeply people need to feel valued, understood, and supported. Today, in my work as a therapist, I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. Every person carries a unique story and deserves the opportunity to have their story honored with dignity, curiosity, and compassion.
I have been in the medical field for over 20 years and have a rather diverse background. The last 6 years I have been in the role of PMHNP. Prior to that an RN in hospice, preceding that was critical care. Prior to becoming a nurse, I worked as an STNA.
Picking a therapist while scrolling through a long list can be intimidating so knowing as much as you can ahead of time may help. A little about me: I have been licensed in Ohio since 2002. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from Ohio University in Athens and my master's from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I truly love what I do! I understand how hard it may be to take that initial step to reach out for help. I will support you in the therapeutic process. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
