About me

I’m an experienced therapist who values building strong therapeutic relationships. My approach takes the whole person into account, focusing on both physical and emotional well-being. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Polyvagal Theory (PVT), Attachment Theory and Acceptance and Mindfulness practices. I also incorporate Integrative Health Coaching to address any physical factors that may influence mental health. My work focuses on areas such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, co-dependency, weight management, and disordered eating.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my varied professional and personal experiences have helped me connect with others with compassion, empathy, and an open mind. I offer creative, personalized approaches that honor each individual through exercises, readings, journaling, and physical health guidance.

Crystal makes opening up so easy! She provides a nonjudgmental, safe space to spill it all! I also love her approach of knowledge is power!

Working with Crystal has been life-changing. She introduced me to techniques I hadn’t heard of before that helped me process information in new ways and connect with feelings I had long buried. In a relatively short period of time, I’ve experienced meaningful growth and healing. I am deeply grateful for her compassion, expertise, and ability to create a safe space for this work.
