About
Crystal takes the time to hear your story so that you feel safe, supported, and understood. She uses a collaborative, non-judgmental approach, offering options, answering questions, and inviting you to be a partner in decisions about your care. Crystal prescribes medications when they’re helpful but doesn’t rely on a “medication-only” approach. She considers the whole picture of your life – relationships, work, stress, family, lifestyle, and overall health – to help find options that make sense for you.
Crystal was inspired to work in mental health because it allows her to combine her natural qualities of curiosity, creativity, compassion, and analytic thinking in a way that makes a meaningful difference for others. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, writing, catching up on the latest health research, knitting, spending time with her family, and building small daily routines that support well-being.
