Hello

Hi, I'm Crystal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping children, teens, and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and practical support. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can show up as you are, feel genuinely understood, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

Before entering private practice, I spent several years working with children and families impacted by trauma as a forensic interviewer. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the resilience people carry, during incredibly difficult circumstances, and shaped my passion for helping others heal.

I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps children and adolescents process traumatic experiences while supporting caregivers throughout the healing process. I also enjoy working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and significant life transitions.

I'm especially passionate about supporting professionals in helping fields who experience secondary or vicarious trauma. Whether you work in healthcare, social work, education, law enforcement, child advocacy, or another caregiving profession, I understand the emotional weight that can come with caring for others. Therapy can be a place to process those experiences, reconnect with yourself, and prevent burnout before it takes a greater toll.
