Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota. I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 2006 and I have about 16 years of counseling experience under my belt. In those years, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples and families in both residential and outpatient settings. Most of the people I have worked with have been those that have experienced significant trauma; however, I have also been able to work with those experiencing daily life stressors.
I have been told by many that I am easy to talk to and that is my main goal. I wish to offer an unbiased, non-judgmental, validating, and caring experience to those who are seeking help. Taking the first step to engage in therapy is difficult enough and it is my hope to offer comfort and reassurance during the process.
The approaches that I tend to gravitate towards are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client Centered, and Solution Focused. I believe with a mixture of these modalities most people can find their way through their tough times and get to a point where they feel more comfortable with life.
I definitely look forward to going on the journey with you to get to a better place with life and yourself.

I have only been working with Crystal for about a month snd a half so far. But personally I have seen improvement in myself with the things I have been suffering with. Still have a ways to go, but I know with working with Crystal and the hard work I’m doing l know I’ll be in a better place come with time. She gives me worksheets to do, and those are helping a lot. She is so easy to talk to. Responds quickly to my messages, is timely about joining video chat sessions. Timely about sending me worksheets when she says she will. Listens to what I have to say. I will continue to work with Crystal. I am very pleased with my experience thus far with Crystal. 12/10 experience!
