Background and approach
Expect a mix of listening, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning to build coping skills and resilience. Trista pays close attention to relationship and attachment patterns that affect daily life. She helps people untangle how past hurts or repeated interactions shape current stress and connection.
Work may include identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small changes that make a difference over time. Trauma and post-traumatic stress are listed areas of focus, and she provides steady support while helping clients regain a sense of control over reactions and routines.

How her evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Trista uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical change and steady support. One common approach she draws on focuses on building coping skills and resilience through short, repeatable exercises that reduce stress and anxiety. This kind of work helps when daily worries or mood dips interfere with routine functioning.Another frequently used approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns. This involves identifying repeated ways of relating, noticing how they show up in current relationships, and trying small behavioral shifts to improve connection and boundaries. It is useful for people struggling with repeated conflict or unclear expectations in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and pace. That means checking in on what’s working, adapting methods, and sharing tools that can be practiced between sessions.
