About Krista
Hi, my name is Krista, and I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I primarily work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and the long-term effects of sexual trauma. I believe that therapy should provide a non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe and work through their issues at their own pace. My goal is to establish a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to explore issues that are important to them.
In my counselling practice, I bring a unique perspective as a certified yoga teacher , end-of-life doula, and vipassana meditator. I believe in the importance of restoring a connection with all aspects of the self to facilitate the healing process. I work with clients one-on-one to help them find connection between body, mind, and heart, and to rediscover the inherent wisdom that resides within the body.
Using a combination of the Gottman Method and a body-centered framework, I specialize in working with couples who are dealing with the effects of past sexual trauma within their current relationship. I also work closely with premarital couples who are navigating the complexities of blending families.
I understand that beginning the counselling process can be intimidating. If you are unsure how to start, please reach out to me at [email protected] for a free 20-minute telephone consultation. If I think that I am not the best fit to help you, I will be honest with you and do my best to guide you towards other resources.
