About Me
Hi! I’m Krysteena and I am a licensed therapist. I graduated with an MA in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marriage & Family therapy in 2012 and have been practicing in a variety of settings for the past 8 years. I work with individuals, couples, and families with an intention of reducing distress and conflict by improving relationships and building self-confidence. I believe people are naturally positive and goal-oriented, though past experiences may create barriers that inhibit healthy growth. By providing support, validation, and thoughtful questioning, I aim to assist individuals in finding their own version of stability and happiness. I understand that we are all unique individuals and I tailor our sessions together to address your specific needs. We will work together to uncover the root cause of your concerns, address them with proven therapeutic techniques, and find the best solutions for you and what YOUR goals are for YOUR life.
Though I’ve worked with individuals from all walks of life, I particularly enjoy working with adults and/or couples interested in relationship-building, enhancing communication, or desiring assistance with life transitions. I also have specific experience working with youth with behavioral concerns and families affected by substance abuse, incarceration, infidelity, grief/loss, trauma, and parenting.
I am a passionate advocate for improved behavioral health care and I work toward promoting education and awareness of mental health issues to the community. In my free time, I recharge by spending time outdoors and enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, and yoga.
My office is located in central Boise on the Bench, near the Orchard and Franklin intersection. The environment is quiet, relaxing, and intended to make your visit as comfortable as possible. There is ample parking right in front of my office building.
