More about Chrystal

Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you’re carrying stress, relationship challenges, past experiences, or uncertainty about what comes next. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you’re going through. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, domestic violence recovery, and the impact of chronic illness. As a sex therapist, I also work with clients exploring intimacy concerns, desire differences, sexual dysfunction, and body image challenges. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building tools for meaningful change.
I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel respected, supported, and empowered. Whether you are working through something specific or simply feeling that something in your life needs to shift, I look forward to walking alongside you on your path toward clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Amazing therapist
Chrystal is wonderful, and I instantly felt at ease with her.
I have only had two sessions until now with Chrystal, but she is the third therapist I have worked with so far into my life, and I could not be more happy to have found her. She seems to have a way of knowing when to prompt more answers, or which part of a story to focus on and delve into deeper. She is very kind, extremely professional, and isn't overly serious or overly technical. Just the right mix of knowledgeability and personality!
Shes wonderful and easy to talk to. Her advice is always so helpful and our sessions are always the highlight of my week. I'm so grateful to have been paired with someone as understanding and lovely as Chrystal.
Crystal is super kind, friendly and understanding. I’ve had great sessions with her and I’m looking forward to my healing journey!
Chrystal is awesome! She has helped me gain perspective. She has listened to me and tailored her questions in a way that made me self reflect. I was going through a hard time and after speaking to her I am very confident that I will be okay.
