Hello! I'm Krystal, a Virginia Beach native, and I'm ready to work alongside you to achieve a more fulfilling, purposeful life. With 8 years of professional experience, I am licensed in Virginia and have had the privilege of helping many individuals and families navigate their mental health journeys. I received my education at Old Dominion University and Regent University, and have worked in community-based, inpatient, and outpatient settings throughout Hampton Roads.
My approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These evidence-based practices allow us to explore and challenge negative thought patterns while building effective coping strategies. I believe in creating an open and safe environment where your thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflicts, anger management, or depression, I am here to support you.
I ensure to cultivate a collaborative environment that focuses on sustainable techniques and skills to better manage your daily functioning. You can anticipate skill rehearsals and therapeutic homework with a goal of comfortably and confidently addressing life's changes and stressors.
