Meet Crystal
I became interested in the mental health field after doing my own therapeutic work as a young adult. Going to counseling and getting to experience the healing benefits of working with a trained professional was one of the best decisions of my life. I experienced profound healing and for the first time in my life, was able to come to a place of deep connection and acceptance with myself, which had a positive ripple effect into the rest of my life. Having this personal healing experience, my desire then became to provide this same service to others.
I believe wholeheartedly in the value of the therapeutic relationship and the healing benefits of therapy.
I am a LCSW with licenses in the states of Texas and California. I have a BA in Social Work from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Social Work from Western Michigan University.
I grew up in Ohio and Michigan before spending time in Austin, Dallas and Kansas City. I now reside in Redding, CA with my husband.
I have been working in the mental health field for over 17 years and have had the privilege to work with families, individuals, refugees, veterans, the elderly, and those with mental disabilities in various settings including Christian non-profit agencies, long term care facilities and medical hospitals. I worked at a Christian counseling agency in Austin before God opened the door for me to open up my own private practice.
