LMFT, 10 years of experience
Hi! My name is Crystal and I have been a therapist for more than 9 years in sunny Southern California. I have a down to earth approach that creates a safe space for my clients to explore, heal and find new ways to cope with life's daily, and sometimes lifelong challenges. As a woman of color and a Christian, I strive to bring both my understanding and experience of these life experiences into my therapy approach. You will experience a judgement free zone with me and I do all I can to provide insight, tools and psychoeducation for my clients. I look forward to working with you and seeing you thrive and heal!
In our first session, we will discuss what is bringing you to therapy, my therapy style and what you hope to gain from therapy. This time is all about my client feeling comfortable, exploring their therapeutic needs and creating a safe space.
Having been a therapist for more than 9 years and having experience with individuals from all walks of life, I have sharpened my skills in providing individualized treatment plans for each client's specific needs to overcome anxiety, low self-esteem and challenges in finding hope.
I love working with clients who are struggling to in their faith and/or finding meaning in their daily lives. My clients have a desire for change but often struggle to identify their thoughts, feelings and disappointments that are holding them back. Many of my clients lack the tools and insight to understand their anxiety, lack of enthusiasm for life and struggles in relationships.
I make room and space for my clients to explore their thinking patterns that are leading to behaviors, choices and struggles that are causing anxiety, challenges in their faith and relationships. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools, my client and I will challenge these thinking patterns and reframe them to find new ways of seeing themselves, others and the world around them so they are thriving & healing in their life.
As a Christian therapist, I have 8+ years of experience in helping Christians heal from church hurt, faith crisis and negative thinking patterns about God and themselves through the use of scripture and Biblical truths. I also encourage time in session for my clients to explore their relationship with God and encounter His Love, Care and Compassion for them individually.

Crystal is absolutely amazing! She listens and helps me find solutions. She always encourages and pushes me to open up. I am so grateful to have her in my life.

My experience with Crystal has been life changing. She is helping me identify words so that I can deal with my trauma/bad experiences directly. When we have words to explain the trauma/bad experience, it makes it possible to actually deal with the problem. You can't unless you name it first. Crystal is helping me to really open up and be vulnerable. I realize I have to deal with these things in order for me to heal from them. I am so grateful for the safe space she provides.
