Krista is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors.
Krista has an innate desire to help others because she knows firsthand how detrimental poor mental health can be when left untreated. Navigating through life is extremely difficult when you lack the proper tools to help guide you. Being uncertain on how to move forward can lead to feelings of inadequacy as you underestimate your ability to cope.
Working with Krista will involve building new relationships with your experiences and how you process them. Krista will invite you to remain curious as she provides a safe space where exploration can occur organically and free of judgement. You are the expert of your own life, and Krista is merely the facilitator of new possibilities.
Krista’s wish for you is that you learn how to build a healthier relationship with yourself; a relationship which is grounded in trust and confidence. As you exercise your ability to choose, you will see how much power you hold. Learning how to process uncomfortable emotions will allow your inner healer to grow. Avoidant behaviour will provide temporary relief; however, your inner healer has the potential to create lasting change you can be proud of.
