My clients are a diverse group of smart, caring, and kind people who feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, or other challenges. Despite their many strengths, they sometimes struggle to build and maintain close relationships, face obstacles in their careers, or find it hard to achieve their goals despite the best of intentions. This can wear away at their self-worth and confidence, making everything feel even harder. Though therapy can sometimes feel heavy, it doesn't have to be all the time. My goal is to make it uplifting, engaging, and even fun—something to look forward to. Clients often describe me as calm, encouraging, nonjudgmental, and funny.

Hi, I'm Cristyn. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist. I enjoy helping people feel heard and understood as they take the first steps in their mental health journey. My practice style is person-centered, trauma-focused, and somatic, grounded in the belief that healing occurs when clients feel safe, heard, and empowered.

I also incorporate somatic techniques to increase awareness of the mind-body connection, supporting clients in recognizing and responding to physical sensations associated with stress, trauma, and emotional experiences. Drawing from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I help clients develop practical coping skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and foster meaningful change while moving at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.

I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did.

I am affirming and welcoming to my LGBTQ + clients.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and provide virtual counseling services to those residing in FL, MD, MI, and VA. I received my Masters from the University of Michigan and have been practicing for 15 years. I specialize in women-specific counseling, addressing the unique challenges that women face, including issues related to self-esteem, confidence, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, anxiety, grief, stress and life transitions. I also specialize in working with women and families with a connection to adoption.

I believe everybody has strengths and talents as well as a place to fit in among this world as well as a purpose. However, at times we all need help to find our strength as life challenges get in the way and we get stuck. “What is some wisdom you have gained through your experiences?” is a question I will ask you when you choose to work with me. We will explore this question together, building on your experiences, and you will learn to identify ways to use this wisdom and strength in the future. I have extensive experience with substance use and with adolescents. I am also a former psychology teacher and academic counselor. I have a passion for working with teens and adults dealing with issues such as anxiety, trauma, depression, life changes, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, ADHD, and grief as well as substance abuse and families dealing with a loved one with substance abuse issues. I take a CBT, person centered, and a whole person approach meaning we look at your support system, environment, and daily routines as part of the puzzle. I create a safe space for you to open up and address things that may be hard for you to face on your own. Together we can make a plan to create and follow through on changes that will increase your strength and resilience, creating a better path forward

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed as a "fraud". Your twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change!
