Crystal is a wonderful therapist. She is perceptive, and she challenges me to grow and to reframe my perspective in a compassionate way. I have learned so much from our sessions and grown immensely as a result of referring to tools/strategies that we worked on together and putting them into practice. I highly recommend Crystal.

You may be used to showing up for others, keeping things moving, and pushing through—even when anxiety, guilt, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion are building underneath the surface.
I work with adult women who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their boundaries, quiet the constant overthinking, and stop repeating patterns that no longer feel healthy or aligned. You do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just need a willingness to slow down, get honest with yourself, and take one step at a time.
My counseling style is warm, practical, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, self-compassion work, and values-based tools to help you identify what is keeping you stuck and build skills you can use outside of session.
In our work together, we may explore anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, relationship patterns, life transitions, guilt, boundaries, and the beliefs that make it hard to choose yourself without feeling selfish.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel supported, understood, and challenged in ways that help you grow. Change does not have to happen all at once. With the right support, small shifts can become meaningful progress.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Crystal is truly an expert, each session I receive more knowledge of myself and the comfort and encouragement to grow within myself which benefits the relationships I have. Just so grateful and I would recommend her to anyone!
Crystal has worked me through a variety of hardships. She does so with such a calming demeanor and she is not afraid to ask questions in order to get through to me more effectively.
What a great therapist! She lets me move at my pace and checks on me in between. Shes an empathetic listener and asks me what I want to do and helps me figure out goals.
Crystal is a soft spoken but thoughtful therapist. I like how she listens and takes in all my thoughts and feelings and tries to get to the root of what’s really going on. Her questions are thought provoking.
