Welcome! I’m Crystal and I’m here to help you start building the life that you want. I’m a Christian counselor who would love to go on a journey with you of learning to walk in freedom and experience a life of healing and joy.
I provide a safe place where you can learn tools to break negative patterns so that you can feel empowered to transform your life. I want to walk alongside you to bring healing by helping you learn to process your emotions, get your needs met, learn to regulate your nervous system and get you connected to internal safety, love and self-compassion.
Choosing a therapist is difficult, and I know how important it is to feel safe and supported in order to grow. My intention as a therapist is to provide a warm, empathetic and grace-filled space to support you on your path to deeper healing.
To fit the needs of the individual, I provide an integrative approach. I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR, while incorporating a trauma-informed lens. I work from a somatic/nervous system perspective, which incorporates the wisdom of your body into the therapeutic process.
I have also been trained in several types of Christian inner healing ministry (Sozo, etc) and enjoy blending my formal education with my spiritual training to form an effective treatment for the whole person.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 17 years of experience in the mental health field. I have extensive experience working with clients who are dealing with: anxiety, panic, trauma, codependency, perfectionism and/ or a dysregulated nervous system. I also love working with clients that want to grow in: self-compassion, identity, self-esteem, spirituality/faith and healthy relationship dynamics.
I would be honored to go on this healing journey with you.
