Hi there, I’m Krista, an experienced Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) based out of Nanaimo B.C., with a passion for supporting individuals through their healing journeys. While my primary focus has been on working with young individuals grappling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss, my journey has led me to intersect with various demographics. My experience in Sexual Abuse Intervention Programs (SAIP) has not only honed my skills in supporting youth and parent survivors but has also provided me with valuable insights into the challenges faced by educators. Through these programs, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with teachers, understanding the unique stressors they encounter and the importance of prioritizing their mental well-being. In my practice, I approach therapy as a collaborative and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their issues at their own pace. Drawing from my background as a certified yoga teacher and vipassana meditator, I emphasize the connection between the body, mind, and heart in the healing process. This holistic approach allows individuals to rediscover their inherent wisdom and find balance amidst life’s challenges. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy proven effective in treating trauma and various mental health concerns by facilitating the processing of distressing memories and experiences. I currently offer in person sessions on Thursdays and Saturdays based in my Nanaimo offices, and virtual sessions the remainder of the week. I look forward to the opportunity to support you, whether you’re a teacher seeking guidance or an individual on the path to healing.
