Having overcome my own challenges with OCD, I'm deeply passionate about helping others facing similar struggles. I don't want anyone to continue suffering when there's an effective treatment option like exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is life-changing, and it works. I create a supportive and empathetic therapy environment. I'll empower you to face your challenges with confidence and resilience. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to manage your symptoms and lead a fulfilling life. I also specialize in treating depression, anxiety and addiction.

Get to know Krista
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 20 years old and it was pretty intense. All of a sudden, I'm doubting all these things. It was tough to figure out what it was because I'd never heard of it before. I've been in recovery for over 15 years due to finding the right combination of medication and therapy.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
Being somebody that has struggled with OCD and is on the other side of it—I think that's very encouraging for Members. I'll always find something in common with people, too, whether it's where we've lived, being a parent, or something we'd both like to do. There's always a connection point; it's just a matter of figuring that out with everybody.
What I want to help you see in yourself
Your strength and resilience. This can be hard, but you can do it, and it's worth it to get to the other side.
My message to you if you're struggling right now
You're not going to get rid of all your anxiety, but you are going to learn to coexist with your OCD and live your life—even if it's still there in the background, you can learn to turn the volume down on it.
Why our members love working with Krista
T.B.
Good experienceThis was the hardest session I've had. Krista helped me uncover some really difficult avoidance, but was so firm in her support of me. Krista continues to hold me accountable while also focusing on areas that are important to function in my everyday life. Krista continues to celebrate my wins and ensures I stay on track to make meaningful progress.

Good experienceKrista has absolutely opened my eyes and changed my life in so many ways since starting with her several weeks ago. I had no idea OCD was controlling me in nearly every aspect of my life, but Krista has stayed steady and consistent with me while also holding me accountable and ensuring that I understand that I will only see results with the work I put in between sessions. I am so grateful for her patience and consistency. I am so grateful for her and know I can reclaim my life, slowly with work.
