Life can be hard, and I know that not only from my professional experience, but from my own personal journey. I’ve been working in the mental health field for over six years, but my perspective as a therapist has also been shaped by growing up in a multicultural family, with a Mexican mother and British father, experiencing poverty, becoming the first in my family to attend college, and having the opportunity to experience many different cultures and parts of the world. Those experiences have taught me that no matter how much or how little we have, we are all human. There are no perfect parents, perfect relationships, or perfect people—we’re all imperfect people trying to make sense of life, navigate challenges, and become better versions of ourselves.
During our first session, we’ll take time to talk about what’s been weighing on you, what you’re experiencing emotionally, and what brought you to therapy. I’ll work to understand your unique needs, strengths, and goals so we can create a plan that feels right for you. We’ll also discuss practical tools and psychotherapy work that will fit your lifestyle and personality. I believe therapy is most effective when the work continues between sessions, helping you build momentum and see positive changes more quickly. My goal is to provide support, guidance, and helpful resources along the way. By the end of our first session, I hope you leave feeling heard, understood, and a little lighter—with a clearer sense of direction and confidence that you’re moving toward the changes you want to make.
I bring a warm, honest, open, and nonjudgmental approach to therapy. I believe there are strengths within all of us, even during the seasons when we have a hard time seeing them ourselves. Sometimes we simply need someone in our corner to help us sort through our thoughts, understand our patterns, and find a way forward. I’ll work collaboratively with you to challenge unhelpful thinking, develop healthier ways of coping, recognize the strengths you already have, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and other modalities based on what best fits your needs. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling understood, empowered, and more confident in your ability to navigate whatever life brings your way.
Adults navigating anxiety, depression, family trauma and new stages of life. My clients range from new high school grads to empty nesters. I work with clients entering a relationship to divorce, starting over in a career or entering retirement. I enjoy helping clients navigate these new chapters and discover a new version of themselves. Change can be beautiful once we’re able to recognize the possibilities and opportunities it can bring. I also work with adults coping with infidelity and the complicated emotions that come with it. Walking alongside clients through the process of healing, rebuilding trust in themselves, and discovering peace is incredibly meaningful to me. I believe that even in the most painful seasons, there is an opportunity for growth, clarity, and a renewed sense of self.

For the past six years, I’ve used CBT to help clients make sense of what’s going on in their minds and how it impacts their emotions, relationships, and daily lives. Sometimes we get caught in negative thought loops that leave us feeling anxious, discouraged, or stuck. Together, we learn to recognize those patterns, challenge them, and create healthier ways of thinking so clients can feel more balanced, empowered, and able to move forward with confidence.
For the past six years, I’ve used EFT to help clients get beneath the surface of what they’re feeling. Often, emotions like anger, anxiety, or sadness are trying to tell us something important. Together, we explore those feelings with curiosity rather than judgment, helping clients better understand themselves and their needs. When people learn to connect with their emotions instead of fighting them, they often feel more confident, more connected to others, and more at ease in their daily lives.
I’ve used Motivational Interviewing to help clients work through the feeling of being stuck between where they are and where they want to be. Change can be hard, even when we know it’s what we need. Rather than giving advice or telling clients what to do, I help them discover their own reasons for change and build on the strengths they already have. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch clients gain clarity, confidence, and motivation as they begin taking steps toward the life they envision for themselves.
One of my favorite treatment methods I’ve used is a strengths-based approach to help clients focus not just on what’s wrong, but on what’s already right. When people are going through a difficult time, it’s easy to forget how much they’ve already survived and accomplished. I enjoy helping clients recognize their strengths, resilience, and inner resources so they can build confidence and move forward with greater hope. Sometimes the most powerful part of therapy is helping someone see in themselves what others have seen all along.
I’ve used Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients shift their focus from feeling stuck in a problem to discovering what might help move them forward. Instead of asking, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ we often explore questions like, ‘What’s working?’ and ‘What would life look like if things were better?’ I enjoy helping clients uncover their own solutions, recognize their progress, and take manageable steps toward the changes they want to see in their lives. Sometimes even a small shift in perspective can create meaningful change.

Crystal has been amazing in the two sessions we've had. Genuinely pleasant and incredibly insightful; as well as, challenging and informative in the, "homework, " she gives.

As someone who has never experienced therapy I was very nervous going in, not knowing what to expect. Crystal had a way of immediately making me feel safe and also that I was truly being heard. Her warmth and way of facilitating the session was exactly what was needed.
