Literally couldn't have asked for a better therapist. She made me feel so comfortable from the beginning; it warms my heart and makes my day whenever I talk to her.

I appreciated how Krista tried to empathize with me and relate to me in small ways. It shows she understands the struggles and has been in my shoes at one point. I can’t wait to have another appointment with her when finances allow.
