As a fellow Neurospicy Sister, I know how hard it is to stay on track and get important things done. When you ask neurotypical people for help, they often look at you like you're crazy. I know that the invisible wall of executive dysfunction or chronic fatigue is a symptom, not a failure. We'll work on your goals together, without pressure or judgment. Come as you are, and let's conquer those tasks.

For years, I noticed a pattern in my life: relationships that didn’t work, family that criticized, jobs that felt unfulfilling, and efforts that seemed invisible. I complained, gave more, hoped people would see my value—but nothing changed. I felt stuck, frustrated, and like a victim. Eventually, I realized that waiting for others to validate me wasn’t the answer. I had to take responsibility for my own goals, dreams, and needs. It was scary because it meant I alone held the power to succeed—or fail. Through reflection and intentional changes, I slowly regained confidence, learned to make choices that served me, and discovered what it truly means to feel in control of my life.

Are you carrying more than you can name—grief, shame, exhaustion, fear—and longing for a space that doesn’t rush to fix you? In this session, we’ll slow down together. I’ll guide you through gentle mindfulness and loving-kindness practices from Buddhist and Christian traditions, offering a spiritually inclusive space to reconnect with your breath, body, and inner dignity. Whether your language is sacred silence, whispered prayer, scripture, or sutra, we’ll find what fits. This is especially for those who feel spiritually displaced, burnt out, or curious about healing with compassion at the center. No meditation experience needed. No pressure to believe anything. Just bring a flicker of openness. I’ll meet you there.

Through years of mental rewiring, I practice mindful living. This comes with the often loud voice of self-awareness, as well as presence and acceptance. Mindfulness is the difference between mindlessly binge watching tv that harms your sleep to numb against upset, versus enjoying one cookie. And I obviously still struggle! Acceptance also involves loving your true self and knowing your worth. I'd love to share tips and challenges as we go on a mindful journey together.

My Story: There were long stretches when I didn’t have a job. The silence from applications was deafening. I felt like I was falling behind, especially when friends were getting promotions or buying homes. I tied my worth to my output—and when there was no output, I felt invisible. Eventually, I started asking myself: Who am I without the title? It was painful but liberating. I started separating my identity from productivity. Now, I hold space for others walking through that same fog.

After graduating college with a degree in TV and Radio Production, I packed up my life in NYC and moved to Los Angeles alone because that’s where dreams in TV are made. I didn’t know a soul, but within 7 days I found a beautiful apartment, bought a car, and landed my first job just around the corner from home. Still, navigating a new city wasn’t easy—and neither was working in TV. I bounced from freelance gigs to temp jobs just to keep the lights on. Eventually I returned to NYC to work for Viacom, then moved back to LA, then Atlanta, and later Nashville. Each time, I had to start over—find housing, build community, and figure life out all over again. It was lonely, uncertain, and at times terrifying. But it also taught me resilience, faith, and how to trust my ability to thrive anywhere. Moving taught me that starting over isn’t failure—it’s proof that you’re strong enough to begin again.

I’m Krista, and for years I battled with low self-worth and shattered confidence after surviving toxic relationships that left me questioning who I was. Those experiences broke me down but also became the turning point that sparked my journey toward healing and reclaiming my voice. Through deep personal work and my career in social work, child protective services, and counseling at a federal halfway house, I discovered the power of resilience and compassion—not just for others but for myself. Now, as a coach, I’m passionate about helping people who feel stuck or broken, especially those recovering from toxic relationships. I walk beside them to rebuild confidence, find their worth, and believe in a future filled with hope. Your story matters, and healing is possible no matter where you’ve been.

For years, my identity was wrapped up in being “Mom.” I loved raising my two kids—and still do—but I reached a point where I barely recognized myself outside of who I was for them. As they grew more independent and eventually left for college, I had to rediscover what brought me joy, what dreams I had set aside, and who I was apart from parenting. That journey included grief, growth, and learning to give myself permission to dream again. Now, I help other women reconnect with their passions, purpose, and confidence—even while still being great moms.

When I graduated from college, I had big dreams but didn’t have a clear idea of how to turn them into a career. I spent years in various jobs, unsure of where I truly belonged, but I kept going because I thought “this was what I was supposed to do.” It wasn’t until I embraced my passions, trusted my instincts, and leaned into my faith that I realized my career wasn’t just a job—it was a calling. I spent time in the TV industry, as a writer, and even as a tennis pro, but I never felt fully fulfilled until I began teaching, coaching, and sharing my story. I know what it feels like to wonder if the dreams you have are even possible, or if you’re just wasting time in the wrong role. But I also know that when you get clear on your purpose and take intentional steps, doors open in ways you didn’t expect. Whether you're about to graduate and need direction, considering a career change, or simply wanting a fresh start in a new season of life, I’d love to help you get clear on your path and discover a future that feels exciting and aligned with your true self.

Ever had conversations that should have been simple—expressing feelings, setting boundaries, navigating friendships—but felt like puzzles with missing pieces? Yeah, always been that way with me. Sometimes I felt like too much, sometimes too little, and almost always like I was being misunderstood. I’ve spent years untangling that sense of disconnection—communicating in a way that feels true to me while still bridging the gap with others. Through my work in peer support, I’ve helped people recognize their own emotional language, whether it’s through words, actions, or quiet understanding. You don’t have to force yourself into someone else’s mold to be heard. If you’ve ever struggled to express your feelings or felt like you just don’t "fit" emotionally, I get it. Let’s explore how you naturally communicate and find ways to connect with the people who truly understand you.

Can't tell you how often I chased a broken idea of self-improvement; trying to eliminate "flaws," and constantly striving for an ideal version of myself that felt out of reach. The more I pushed toward that impossible standard, the more disconnected I felt. But growth isn’t about perfection—it’s about exploration. We evolve not by erasing the parts of us we struggle with, but by understanding them, accepting them, and finding authentic ways to move forward. Philosophy has played a huge role in reshaping how I approach self-development, helping me see life less as a rigid path. It can be hard to navigate the tension between self-acceptance and wanting to grow—breaking free from unrealistic expectations and exploring self-reflection in a way that actually feels fulfilling. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt or felt like you’re "not enough," let’s take a step back. It doesn’t have to be about fixing—it can be about understanding and embracing the complexity of who you are.

I wasn’t really able to get to the bottom of my healing process until I started to connect my shortcomings to things I had experienced in the past. Whether it was my need to control everything around me or my tendency to dissociate in stressful situations, once I realized the events in my life that caused this conditioning, I was able to change the framework in my brain in order to approach situations in a more productive way. Trauma continuously happens throughout your life, and if left unaddressed can further deteriorate your mental health as you age. The good news, however, is that once you get a grasp on your past traumas, you become much more aware of traumas as they happen. Eventually, this leads to the harmonious practice of mindfulness - basically addressing and processing emotions as they happen so that they don't accumulate and leave you feeling stuck.

I stayed too long. Not just in one relationship, but in a few. I told myself things would get better, that I could fix it, that I was the problem. After a 17-year marriage ended in infidelity, I felt completely lost and unlovable. I drank to cope, remarried, and kept drinking. Then came a narcissist who used, lied, manipulated, and eventually tried to kill me. By the time I realized I had to leave, I was trauma bonded, emotionally exhausted, and terrified. But I did leave. I found a domestic violence shelter, got sober in rehab, and slowly began piecing myself back together. I know how hard it is to leave, especially when your sense of self is tangled up in trying to make it work. But I also know this: you don’t have to wait until you’ve lost everything to walk away. If you’re wondering whether it’s time to go, let’s talk. I’ve been there.

Mindfulness has been a grounding practice in my own journey—helping me slow down, reconnect with my breath, and find presence even in difficult moments. When life feels overwhelming, mindfulness can become a safe place to return to. It doesn’t erase the challenges, but it gives us tools to meet them with more calm, clarity, and compassion. In our time together, I offer: Gentle guidance in grounding and centering practices Support in noticing and honoring your emotions without judgment Space to explore mindfulness as a way of softening stress and anxiety Practical tools you can bring into your daily life to create balance and inner peace Whether you’re brand new to mindfulness or deepening your practice, I will walk alongside you—helping you find presence in the moment, one breath at a time. 🌿

Losing connection with your own worth can feel like losing a part of yourself. Through my lived experience, I know what it’s like to struggle with self-doubt, shame, or feeling “not enough.” Rebuilding self-worth isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you already are. In our time together, I offer: A safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself Gentle encouragement to challenge old stories that no longer serve you Support in uncovering your strengths, values, and inner voice Tools and practices to nurture self-compassion and confidence My hope is that you leave our conversations feeling seen, validated, and reminded of your inherent worth. You deserve to take up space, to be kind to yourself, and to know you are enough—just as you are, right here, right now.

I left an abusive relationship in the middle of the night with my two small children, unsure of what the future would hold, and then I never looked back. I moved back in with my parents, carrying fear, shame, and the weight of starting over from scratch. Rebuilding myself meant rediscovering who I was. It got to a point that I was dancing at night to feel alive and then I ended up stepping into a completely new path as a professional matchmaker, where I saw myself in a way I never had before. Dating as a single mom in the lesbian community was full of challenges, teaching me patience, boundaries, and resilience. I also went no-contact with family who violated my trust, and leaned on therapy, spiritual leaders, or any tools to help me heal from years of trauma. Over time, I built a life and a marriage I love, rooted in authenticity and self-respect. Now I want to use my story to guide others, showing that even after abuse, it’s possible to reclaim your life and reinvent yourself.

Leaving or recovering from a toxic relationship can feel like you’ve lost yourself completely. I know the pain of questioning your worth, doubting your instincts, and carrying the weight of someone else’s manipulation. But I also know it’s possible to rise again. Through my own journey, I learned how to rebuild piece by piece while untangling my voice from theirs, releasing shame, and remembering my own strength. Healing isn’t about pretending it never happened; it’s about reclaiming your power and writing a new story. Now, I help others find that same clarity and courage so they can move forward with confidence, self-trust, and freedom.

I grew up nestled between a National Wildlife Refuge and a National Park, where my earliest teachers were rivers, native plants, and the cycles of land and sea. Over the years, I’ve worked on organic farms, in a fishery, as a nature guide, and in youth education—each experience deepening my belief that nature doesn’t just teach us, it heals us. That path led me to become an ecopsychologist over 20 years ago, and later a neuroeconomist. I’ve always been fascinated by how natural systems shape our brains, our behavior, and our capacity to imagine better futures. For me, heliotropic idealism—orienting toward what brings light—has been a powerful tool for navigating pain, while phosphorescent mindfulness helps me stay connected to wonder when dreaming feels hard. I’ve learned that nature speaks through more than just sights and sounds; it speaks through our senses, instincts, and longings. I don’t have all the answers, but I know how to ask the right questions and how to listen with all of myself. I’d love to hold space for others who want to reconnect with the parts of themselves they may have forgotten—and remember their own “wordless voice of nature.”

Sobriety truly gave me a second chance at life — but it also meant starting over in ways I never expected. After years of fight or flight, freeze, survival mode, and trauma my confidence was shattered. My work history was full of gaps, or roles I had outgrown. I wasn’t sure where I fit anymore — or if anyone would give me a chance. But I decided I was worth investing in. I explored new paths, took classes, asked questions, and learned how to talk about my past with strength instead of shame. I focused on reskilling — not just professionally, but emotionally and mentally, too. Every step I took helped rebuild the belief that I could contribute, succeed, and even thrive. Whether you’re restarting a career, going back to school, or dreaming about something totally new — I get it. You don’t have to figure it all out at once. I’d love to help you explore what’s next and show you that sobriety is not the end of your potential — it’s the beginning.
