Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Has the journey of life been an uphill battle? Has the twist and turns caused you to lose focus on your path? If so, I would love to help. There is no roadmap to a happy and fulfilling life. However, many of us have the tools and the strength to make it through life's difficult circumstances. Together we will build self-efficacy. Therapy structured and focused on you. Out of the box thinking and perspectives is what makes my sessions so unique. Accept this standing ovation!!!!!! You've taken the first step to healing!!!! IT'S ONLY UP FROM HERE!!!!!!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I specialize in helping individuals who may have experienced trauma, depression, divorce, anxiety, crisis, anger management issues, grief/loss and relationship issues to name a few. Life has no cookie cutter; however, we will utilize the holistic approach to healing.

I wish I could select more than Authentic and Humorous. Krystal is all of the above and more when it comes to being a great therapist. She challenges me in creative and thought-provoking ways and tells it like it is while maintaining a warm and caring tone. I really appreciate her patience for my nonsense as well because I stay saying ridiculous things so I'm glad she can laugh with me.
