More about Krystal
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My therapy style is collaborative and supportive. I inform clients when we begin working together that my role is to walk with them as they work toward their treatment goals. This is accomplished by active listening, the use of motivational interviewing, supportive feedback, and challenging clients to seek a deeper understanding of themselves and others around them. While I began my career working with children, I transitioned to adult clients in 2019 and expanded my caseload to include older adults in 2020.
