Hi, I'm Crystal! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I have a passion for working with adults 18 and over in developing skills to effectively manage depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, anger issues, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, substance abuse, and grief & loss. I understand from personal experience many of the challenges that come with these issues and strongly believe that holistic well-being involves balance of mind, body, & spirit. My clinical approach utilizes a strengths-based foundation and incorporates a variety of therapeutic techniques to help clients understand deeper their own beliefs, thoughts, values, strengths, challenges, self-worth, and goals – especially those not yet discovered! My goal is to walk with you along your journey and creatively help you learn how to invest in your own mental well-being and practice new skills to enter into a more hopeful, self-compassionate, and empowered life.

I'm able to freely talk things through with Crystal. she always perfectly balances letting me speak and listens intentionally, with knowing when to chime in and provide thoughtful feedback. I have a tendency to think I know all the answers and Crystal has dug deeper by asking questions I hadn't considered and really making me reflect. She always gives insights that leave me feeling heard and also eager to explore more and practice in real time.
