Crystal offers a safe place to process trauma and negative core beliefs with EMDR. Also specializes in relationship or marriage issues due to lack of trust, blocks in communication, emotional distance, transitions, etc. Navigating addiction recovery support or maintenance is also a passion. I have over 7 year of experience, and am here to talk you through the obsessive, shameful, codependent, anxious, and depressed feelings. You deserve to feel safe, connected, and balanced. You and your partner deserve to feel secure. I help guide clients in connecting back to themselves and/or their partners using holistic & clinical approachs
I have been in the field of mental health and substance abuse since 2018 and have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I have also worked as a social worker in nonprofits and school settings for children, adolescents, and families as well as dual diagnosis facilities. I offer trauma focused, EMDR, CBT, DBT, Gottmann, and other therapy methods.
I want to help connect the dots, I want to assist you in understanding the mental, emotional and physical connections you do subconsciously. I offer a compassionate and safe space for individuals and couples to explore current and past emotional triggers and decrease the negative or racing thoughts. I am here to help you live life, not just deal with it.

There are many types of therapy methods I utilize based on your needs. However the first session typically is a lot of history gathering. I like to get to the roots, I use a lot of inner child and core beliefs within my sessions. I really try to assist you in understanding your symptoms on a deeper level so we can better challenge and change our intrusive thoughts and behavior patterns.
