When worry or heaviness becomes your “normal”

Anxiety and depression rarely show up out of nowhere. They often build slowly, until one day you realize you do not remember the last time you felt truly rested or hopeful.

Anxiety might look like:

• A mind that never turns off, replaying conversations or worst-case scenarios

• Feeling on edge, jumpy, or “keyed up” even when nothing is wrong

• Saying yes to everyone else while your own needs stay buried

• Trouble sleeping, relaxing, or being present with the people you love

Depression might look like:

• Waking up already exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep

• Losing interest in the things that used to bring you joy

• Moving through your days on autopilot, just trying to make it through

• Feeling guilty for not being “more grateful” or “trying harder”

You may not have words for what is wrong. You just know life feels heavier than it should, and you are tired of carrying it alone.

What you can expect with Krista

You’ll have a calm, compassionate space to untangle what’s weighing on you — without judgment, pressure, or the expectation to be anywhere other than where you are today.

Together, you will:

• Notice how anxiety or depression show up in your daily life

• Understand the patterns beneath it — the beliefs or habits that are draining you

• Learn how to calm your body’s stress response

• Practice healthier ways of relating to yourself and others

Sessions are collaborative and paced with care. Krista checks in regularly so you are not pushed faster than you are ready for, and you always know you can pause, redirect, or simply take a breath.

If your faith is important to you, it is welcome in the room. If not, you are still fully seen and supported.

How EMDR and talk therapy can support your healing

Everyone’s story is different, so sessions are tailored to what you need most. Sometimes that looks like steady, honest conversation that helps you untangle what you’re feeling and understand the patterns behind it. Other times, it may include EMDR — a research-supported tool that helps your brain and body process what’s been stuck beneath the surface.

Together, these approaches can help you:

• Make sense of overwhelming thoughts or emotions

• Gently settle the physical stress that anxiety or depression create

• Understand how past experiences may still be shaping your reactions

• Build skills for calming your mind, sleeping more peacefully, and responding to triggers in new ways

The goal isn’t to erase feelings — it’s to help your whole self move out of survival mode and into a steadier place where anxiety and depression no longer run the show.

You are not too much, and it is not too late

Anxiety and depression often whisper that you should already have this figured out. That you are a burden. That nothing will really change.

Krista holds a different story for you.

With the right support, it is possible to:

• Feel more present and less on edge

• Wake up with a little more energy and hope

• Respond to stress without immediately spiraling

• Offer yourself the same compassion you extend to everyone else

If you are ready to explore a different way of moving through your life, you do not have to do it alone.
