I am a bi-lingual and bi-cultural Licensed Certified Social Worker who received her Masters in Social Work from Boston College. I provide effective, transformative, and lasting life changes in children, adults, and families. I've worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, stress disorders, adjustment, relationship challenges, trauma, and mood disorders. I am passionate about providing a counseling environment that encourages respect, safety, trust, and honesty while tailoring each session to the clients' need.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a hispanic woman, I understand issues with cultural conflicts and issues that arise due to feeling unaccepted in certain environments. I completed my Masters in Social Work (MSW) at Boston College, my personal and professional experiences help me provide guidance and support that offers a safe space for clients to feel heard.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals that are seeking to be challenged and shifting perspectives to see a different view point. I believe an ideal client is someone open to be honest about their struggles, and looking for solutions to remedy current or past stressors.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 4 years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

I started therapy feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and Crystal made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She is warm, understanding, and empowering. Her approach helped me open up and feel heard without judgment. I appreciate how she listens and guides me in a way that feels supportive and real. I’m grateful for the safe space she creates.

During my first session she was asking the correct questions to get to know me better, I'm looking forward to my future sessions with her!
