About Us

Hey There, I'm Krista

I'm a Clinical Social Worker based in Greenville, South Carolina and I specialize in Veterinary Social Work.  What does that mean?  It means I work with people in that special space where humans and animals meet.  I help humans be the best version of themselves; the people our animals think we are.  

I work with individuals, couples, and organizations to help define what your personal and professional “best life” looks like and develop a plan to get there.  I hold space for those working through life transitions and help with trauma, improving self worth and self compassion, reducing stress and anxiety, improving interpersonal relationships, honoring grief, shame and more.  

I am passionate about walking with veterinary professionals as they develop the skills necessary to prioritize their own well-being and then leverage those skills to build a better system for all veterinary professionals. 

Your story matters.  We would be honored to hear it.

Eliot, Therapy Dog

Eliot is our facility therapy dog at M3.  Eliot is an English Cream Golden Retriever from Carolina Goldens and he comes from a long line of working dogs.

Eliot has a deep and abiding love of treats!  He's also a big fan of cuddles and hearing how handsome and amazing he is (ideally at the same time).

NOTE: Eliot is both a therapy dog (TD) and Krista's Service Dog (SD).  This means you may see him in the community in each of these roles.  Please ignore him in public if he's wearing his service dog gear.  Feel free to say hi if he is wearing his therapy dog gear!

Jane, Self Compassion Expert

Jane is a Boxer mix rescued from the Greenville Humane Society and her very favorite thing is playing catch the toy.  Like many of us, Jane had some difficult experiences, struggles with anxiety, and sometimes has to practice her own calming techniques.  She is our poster dog for understanding what self compassion looks like in real life.  While Jane occasionally joins in at the office, she is not a regular participant in therapy due to her anxiety.  She is a beloved member of the family and stars in many anecdotes about why we are all worthy of love and belonging just as we are.
