I’m Khristofer
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Seminary of the Southwest, preparing for licensure as a professional counselor. I was drawn to this field through my passion for relationships, my calling to help others, and the transformation I experienced in my own counseling journey.
I see every person as having an inherent capacity to grow, heal, and navigate the world they live in. For me, counseling is rooted in the safe, trusting, and authentic relationship we co-create together. Transformation often unfolds when just the right conditions are present—when there is space to reflect, to feel, and to connect more fully with one’s own story as it continues to uniquely unfold.
My work is guided by a holistic view of mind, body, and spirit, and I often incorporate elements of mindfulness and somatic experiences to help clients feel grounded and present in their journey. I am passionate about supporting grief, processing trauma, affirming identity, building self-esteem and resilience, navigating anxiety and depression, exploring spirituality as a source of meaning, and walking with those who face substance use.
I believe that every person’s story deserves to be heard, felt, and seen. It is my deepest privilege to bear witness to this process and to share in the sacred space of growth, healing, and discovery.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” — Carl Rogers
