Registered Psychotherapist & Founder of True Care I’m Krista — a trauma‑informed, Buddhist‑infused psychotherapist who specializes in complex PTSD, developmental trauma, and attachment wounds. My work is grounded in gentleness, clarity, and deep respect for the nervous system.
I integrate neuroscience, somatic therapy, EMDR, and IFS‑informed parts work with a steady, compassionate presence. My approach is non‑pathologizing and shame‑sensitive, shaped by years of supporting clients who grew up without the safety, attunement, or emotional protection they deserved.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: healing happens when we meet ourselves with warmth instead of judgment.
I help clients reconnect with their bodies, soften long‑held survival patterns, and build relationships that feel safe, honest, and alive. My style is calm, attuned, and deeply human — a space where you don’t have to perform, shrink, or carry everything alone.
This is the foundation of True Care: a gentle return to yourself, held with compassion and grounded in evidence‑informed care.
Alongside my clinical practice, I serves as a Clinical Supervisor in the Counselling and Psychotherapy program at Saint Paul University, where I support emerging therapists in developing trauma‑informed competence, ethical clarity, and attuned therapeutic presence.
I am licensed with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
