Hi there, I’m Krista, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing virtual psychiatric care for adults throughout Illinois. I’m passionate about helping people feel grounded, supported, and empowered on their mental health journey.

I have more than 15 years of nursing experience across diverse healthcare settings, which has helped shape my understanding of how complex and personal mental health truly is. I became a nurse practitioner in 2018 and have worked exclusively in mental health since, providing evidence-based care to adults across the lifespan.

I’m deeply committed to helping individuals reconnect with themselves, find clarity during difficult transitions, and build a sense of peace in their daily lives. I love partnering with people who are ready to take the next step toward emotional wellness, even if they’re unsure where to begin. Reaching out for help can be overwhelming, and I’m honored every time someone chooses to begin their healing work with me. My goal is for you to walk away from each session with hope, direction, and a genuine sense of partnership in your care.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family or exploring new ways to support wellness and balance in my own life. I value humor, connection, and authenticity and love bringing those qualities into my practice whenever I can.
