Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a Doctor of Social Work, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Army combat veteran with degrees in Sociology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Social Work. My approach to therapy is humanistic, compassionate, honest, and practical. I believe that life’s stressors, whether they come from work, relationships, major life changes, past experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything at once, can affect us in ways that are difficult to manage alone.

I strive to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and understood without judgment.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Crystal! I believe life can be challenging enough as is, without having to navigate it with anxiety, depression and racing thoughts. I believe reaching out for help, or just having someone to talk to, is the most important thing you can do. Life is stressful, life is messy and sometimes having someone to talk to can help clear your head. Please don’t overthink things, don’t spend hours looking for the “perfect therapist, and overanalyze the therapy process. I’m here to help- just reach out that’s the first step!
