About Me
Licensed Professional Counselor
Hi, I’m Crystal, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving Alabama and Missouri. I am also a National Certified Counselor. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years and serving as a Therapist for 5 of those years. In my time as a Therapist, I have come to believe that each person is the expert on their story. I also believe that we each have strengths that help us overcome challenges.

Providing Individual Care
I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). This therapy focuses on supporting individuals between the ages of 4 and 13 who have experienced one or more traumas. Services are provided in person.
I provide specialized support for adult men who experienced sexual abuse in childhood (before age 12). Many men live for years carrying the impact of these experiences—often in silence—while building careers, families, and identities that do not reflect the full story of what they’ve survived.
My work focuses on helping men:
- Understand how early sexual trauma can affect adult relationships, identity development, emotional regulation, and self-worth.
- Develop resilience-based strategies that support healing without defining themselves by trauma.
- Reclaim a sense of agency, safety, and self-trust.
- Explore masculinity, strength, and vulnerability on their own terms.
Everyone, at one time or another, feels some level of anxiety and depression. However, when these feelings begin to happen too often or begin interfering with your life, that is when counseling can support you.
We each have stress in our lives. When left unchecked, stress can build up and begin affecting our physical, mental, and emotional health. Whether you are dealing with family, school, work, or other stressors, let's work together to develop skills and strategies to support you.
