Crystal is a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience across the mental health field. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Radford University and her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.

Growing up in a military family—and later marrying into one—Crystal experienced frequent moves throughout the United States and Europe. Married since 1990, she is a mother of three adult children and a proud grandmother. Having lived in Northern Virginia since 2005, she understands firsthand the unique pressures often faced by families in the NOVA area.

Crystal’s professional background spans a variety of clinical settings. She has served as an in-patient acute care social worker in California, working with teens, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of mental health diagnoses including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. She has also worked as a recreational therapist at a psychiatric long-term care facility in Washington, D.C., and as a case worker supporting outpatient clients in Montgomery County, Virginia. Her administrative role at Franconia Family Therapy Center ultimately inspired her to pursue a counseling degree. She later completed her internship at Associated Clinical Services in Springfield, VA, and her residency at Keystone Serves in Burke, VA.

Crystal uses an eclectic, person-centered, and evidence-based therapeutic approach, drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). She currently works with teens, adults of all ages, parents, and seniors. Her clinical experience includes supporting clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood dysregulation, gender confusion, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Crystal meets clients with empathy and without judgment, helping them explore thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns that may be hindering their wellbeing. She partners with clients to identify meaningful changes and build practical skills that support a healthier mindset and personal growth. As a practicing Christian, Crystal can incorporate a Christian spiritual perspective into therapy upon request, while always honoring and respecting each client’s individual beliefs and values.
