I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Social Worker in the State of Texas with 25 years of experience ranging from early childhood treatment to the elderly. My approach in therapy is of a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused nature and I have assisted clients with a wide range of concerns including significant life changes, parenting, foster care and adoption, divorce or separation, grief and loss, childhood or adult traumas, family issues, domestic abuse, relationship issues, early childhood intervention and medical needs, compassion fatigue, career, and individual spiritual walk. I focus on assisting the client with addressing emotional struggles and in how to face life events in a way that is safe, healthy and positive for them individually and not in comparison to others as each of our lives are unique and at times complicated. Working with a client to see that their life and situation may be unique BUT that they are definitely NOT ALONE and that there is both Hope and Help, is what drives me to continue with my passion to counsel those seeking support as they take their journey in this life. I want each client to feel that they are being heard and valued as they walk through situations with me and get help finding solutions to their need at hand. Oftentimes, a client simply needs to have a sounding board to help them line out their emotions and a course of action but then at other times they simply need professional support in learning about options for tools to use and approaches they can take as they work to address an issue at hand. The combination of my training in social work along with professional counseling, lends well to me working with a client needing both a person-centered but also a solution-focused approach to assist with positive and supportive change.

Crystal is great! She makes me feel comfortable with her, and also confident in her as a therapist. She is kind and respectful. Never pushy of her thoughts/opinions, but instead connects with you by relating and walking you through it all. I would definitely recommend her!

Crystal is an amazing person to talk to, and share feelings to. She listens and understands my anxiety and worries , and she is very welcoming and responsive. I usually were hesitate to send messages to therapists as I understand they are very busy with clients and have their personal life; but Crystal checks on me often and encourages me to message my experience and feelings, I felt such a great relief to finally tell my stories to someone. I really appreciate everything that Crystal have helped me!

Crystal is amazing. She has the ability to remember details of your story from weeks past and assist you in the best manner possible when it surprises you most! It’s the time you need the best support and she will draw a parallel or have you reflect on a behavior. She is so skilled in what she does. She is relatable and an inspiration. She always leaves me with small goals that are motivating and encouraging enough that I believe and want to work toward them. In the past, I would shun this. She checks on me if I go quiet for a while. She reaches out after big events that she knows are important for different reasons. Having worked with her for over a year now, I can honestly say my family and friends have seen a significant shift in my life. She has brought me from the depths of chronic illness and depression to recovery and hope for a bright future!
