About Me

Helping Humans Since 2014

Hey! I'm Krista, and I geek out about the human brain. In

fact, people are my passion! I find it absolutely fascinating

how our brains work, the way we think, and how we interact

with one another. It's this passion that led me to become a

therapist 10 years ago, and it's what fuels my desire

to change the mental health game.

As a modern therapist, I believe in modeling authenticity to

make you feel more comfortable being authentic with me.

You won't get a stuffy, closed-off, or cold therapist with me -

I'm all about being real and true to myself, and that's exactly

what you can expect from me.

My 'office' is a chill space where you can kick back, be your true self, and let those walls down. Embrace the journey of growth and self-improvement, and kudos to you for taking the plunge! Everyone can benefit from doing healing work, and I'm here to help you make it happen.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I'm trained to help people work through tough experiences and move forward from painful memories. Instead of asking "What’s wrong with you?", I'm all about understanding what you've been through and how it's shaping your world. Together, we'll find a way to lessen the grip of those tough moments.

On a personal note, I’m a delightful cultural cocktail—half-Korean, (basically) half-Canadian French, and 100% appreciative of the richness that brings to my life. I’m always up for an adventure, whether it’s indulging in new and culturally diverse cuisines, traveling when my schedule (and wallet) allow, or just soaking in the magic of human connection.

Listening to music, playing board games, watching TV, and dancing are some of my favorite ways to unwind. And I love spending quality time with my family and friends!

My worldview? Rooted in reason, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the shared weirdness and wonder of being human. I’m an ally through and through—not just in theory but in action. When it comes to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, I believe in amplifying voices that have been historically silenced, making space at the table for those who’ve been overlooked, and continuously challenging my own biases. I see allyship as an ongoing commitment, whether it’s advocating for fair representation, supporting inclusive policies, or simply listening and learning from others’ lived experiences.

And therapy? Been there, done that, still doing the work. Being in the healing space with others isn’t just what I do, it’s one of my absolute favorite places to be.

If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I'm here for you. Let's work together to create a happier, healthier you.

My Mission

I'm on a mission to give my clients the courage to tear up the old stories that hold them back and take a bold leap into a lifestyle that is brimming with self-love and fulfilling relationships!

Who Is My Ideal Client?

My ideal client falls within the age range of 21 to 45 years. This is a dynamic and transformative period in life, often marked by significant personal, professional, and relational developments.

The clients I work with often find themselves struggling in their romantic relationships. These struggles might include:

Communication Difficulties: They may face challenges in effectively communicating with their partners, leading to misunderstandings, conflicts, and feelings of disconnect.
Balancing Personal and Relationship Goals: Individuals in this age group are often trying to balance their personal ambitions with their relationship goals, which can create tension and stress.
Navigating Life Transitions: Whether it's moving in together, marriage, career changes, or starting a family, life transitions can put a strain on romantic relationships.
Intimacy Issues: They may struggle with developing or maintaining intimacy, both emotional and physical, which is crucial for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
Past Relationship Baggage: Previous romantic experiences, whether positive or negative, can significantly impact current relationships. Understanding and working through this baggage is often a key focus.

My ideal clients are individuals who recognize these challenges and are ready to address them. They are open to exploring their relationship patterns, willing to learn new skills, and committed to personal growth. They understand that improving their romantic relationships not only enhances their personal happiness but also contributes to their overall well-being.
