Out of all the therapists I’ve connected with through BetterHelp, she’s the first I feel like hears me. She keeps me wanting to get help instead of giving up.

Reviewed May 2023

I like that she texting on me even if I don’t respond. I don’t know her very well, but I poured my heart out to her one day and she has sent me messages trying to check up on me and I think it’s pretty awesome. She’s definitely in her element with her profession. I’m grateful to have her

More about Trista

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have experience working mostly with adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, relationship issues, trauma, confidence and self-esteem and career challenges.

I am committed to helping people through a method specific to their needs. I’m here to counsel, and counseling isn’t a “one size fits all” when you have a lot of different people with different issues and different responses to those issues.

When a person experiences a life stressor, life may seem like it is unraveling. It is my passion to prevent the fabric of one’s life from further unraveling. It is my intention to help that person sew the unraveled threads back together through therapy. We do it together in a way that is appropriate and in accordance with specific needs of that person. That is why I have been trained in a range of modalities: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, gestalt therapy, person-centered therapy, and humanism. I counsel people from all backgrounds, including children, adults and families. It is my moral code that we don’t ever stop trying to be better people, to understand ourselves better, and to address concerns in our lives in a healthy manner so that we are whole, complete, and safe.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I highly recommend Trista to anyone struggling with their mental health! I tried other therapy outlets before deciding on Betterhelp. I was matched with Trista and the bond was instant. I am a trauma survivor, she didn't hesitate to get to know me and my trauma. She's very understanding and patient. She only offers texting, but that's fine with me as I have a difficult time expressing myself face to face. I look forward to what our therapy journey brings in the future.

Incredible, she’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. Insightful, contemplative, and honestly more helpful than she even realizes.

Reviewed June 2020

When I started counseling I was at an all time low. In the few months that I've been talking to Trista she's helped me get a much better grasp on my reality and has helped me significantly to find myself again. She quickly and methodically broke down my walls and gave me a lot of things to work on. And she had me address things I didnt think was important because she could tell that they were. She's an incredible therapist. Thank you for everything you have done for me so far Trista. I really appreciate you and all of the help you've given me.

Reviewed May 2020

She's wonderful, I've had two sessions and I feel like I'm talking to a friend. I feel like I'm in a safe zone. I feel like I can talk about what I need to without being judged. She's already teaching me things that I find useful. I'm very excited about her being my therapist.

I am very impressed with Trista’s ability to see through my walls and get to the heart of my issues. Always caring and supportive, she doesn’t let me disparage myself and sweetly calls me on my negative self talk. I highly recommend her. Right from the beginning I’ve had some of those “lightning bolt” revelations from her.

The best part of working with Trista is that not only does she truly listen to you, but she has so many ideas and helpful techniques to try. She also is open to what works for you so if one approach isn't working, you can move onto the next to really find what works best for you and your situation. I already feel so much better in the short time I've been working with her and I feel so much more control over my mental health. Overall, I couldn't recommend Trista more!

I began working with Trista at a really pivotal time in my life and I am lucky I did. I was headed down a destructive path and she helped me to acknowledge and work with that in healthy ways. I, fortunately, did not continue engaging in the destructive behaviors I was struggling with and we have been working a lot around the underlying issues. I have a long way to go but I feel really supported with her through her interventions and skills. She rocks!

Trista has been patient, thorough, and compassionate in helping navigate me through the journey of healing from a childhood sexual assault. She understand my problems even more than I do and asks the exact right questions to get my brain thinking about solutions instead of dwelling on the problem. I feel I have found a therapist that wants to walk the journey with me instead simply asking me to figure it out on my own.
