Hello. My name is Krystal, and I am a licensed Psychotherapist. My professional experience has been vast, and I've come to recognize that the human condition is universal. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Subject Matter Expert for the State of California, charged with contributing to the development of future LMFT licensing exams. Furthermore, I work as a Clinical Consultant/ Employee Assistance Professional serving various organizations in corporate America. I am committed to personal growth, and I volunteer in my community. I am happy to meet with you to see if I can be of assistance.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to assist you in living the life that you want to live. We will take a look at the major areas of your life, then focus on what you want to change/ grow in. "A problem well-understood is a problem half solved." I will challenge you to be introspective; to identify what you want, what the obstacles are, and your next steps.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am person-centered. Basically this means that I believe a client's relationship with the therapist is paramount to growth. I offer empathy, "unconditional positive regard", and support. Of course we will pull out tools like CBT, ACT, etc. to address specific symptoms.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My goal is to get to know you, and to see if I can be of assistance. If I am not the therapist for you, we will problem-solve by finding a better fit for you. I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment.
