Like most people in medicine, Krista went into undergrad knowing that she enjoyed science and that she wanted to help people. Her 7 yrs as a critical care nurse sent her back to school with a desire to help people thrive, rather than just survive. A desire to be preventative as a health care provider.
As a board certified family nurse practitioner, Krista has had experience in a variety of healthcare settings. She believes that good healthcare involves listening, educating, and taking a whole-person, individualized approach.
Although Krista welcomes patients of all ages, she is passionate about optimizing women’s health. With specialized FEMM training in hormones, fertility, and menstrual cycle health, she supports women so they can feel empowered in their health and thrive both mentally and physically.
There is no one-size-fits all in healthcare. Through the direct primary care approach at Health Studio KC, Krista is excited to have the time she needs to truly listen to each patient’s individualized needs, and therefore provide better care.
Krista is a wife and an active mom to two wonderful children. Born and raised in KC, she is a coffee enthusiast who also enjoys exploring different cuisines and all that KC has to offer. She also loves spending time outside — in Loose Park or any other KC jewels.
