Hi, I'm Crystal!
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. My journey began in Community Mental Health, where I had the privilege of working with children, teens, young adults, and families. This background has profoundly shaped my approach and deepened my commitment to providing compassionate and effective care.
In my personal life I enjoy being outside, reading and spending time with family and friends. I also like to go on adventures with my daughter and we have awesome living room dance parties together!
My Approach
I work from a Family Systems perspective, understanding that each individual is deeply connected to their relationships and environment. I also use Evidence-Based Practices, including:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reframe negative thought patterns.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.
-
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to strengthen the parent-child relationship and address behavioral concerns.
Therapy is a collaborative journey. I walk alongside my clients, attuning to their needs and creating a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. I value inclusivity and affirm the diverse, intersectional identities of every individual and family I work with. My goal is to empower clients to navigate challenges with resilience and confidence.
