Hello! My name is Crissy, I believe the best work is done in treatment when there is trust and a positive clinical relationship. Everyone has different issues as well as different ways of facilitating change. Therefore I focus treatment on the needs of the individual which may be eccletic and ever changing. I hope to help clients find their own way to a positive outcome. I am very warm and engaging with a respecful approach. My experience in counseling over the past 26 years includes work with invidivuals and couples. Areas of practice include, but not limited to, Depression, Anxiety, Abuse and Trauma, Intimacy issues, relationship issues, anger management, self-esteem, parenting issues, motivation, stress managem and adjustment. I also worked with adult students needing career guidance. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling as well as a Bachelor's in Art Therapy and have worked with Art, Drama and Journaling in Therapy.
It takes courage and strength to take a positive step towards a better "You". I look forward to supporting and empowering you during this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I've only met with Crissy once so far but feel she really "hears" me. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her.
Crissy is insightful, dynamic, and caring. My experience with her over the 2 years is invaluable. She provides helpful tools and techniques in our weekly session that have made a positive impact on my life. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Chrissy has made such a difference for me. I’m so grateful.
Crissy is very insightful and able to quickly grasp my situation. I feel that she understands how I feel and is very open to many possibilities which make me feel optimistic.
Crissy is great with helping me to feel calm among the chaos. She is attentive and good at offering ideas, tips, and tricks to cope.
Crissy does a great job of helping me find new ways to deal with my emotions.
Crissy is always there for me and with this service, allows me to get to her at a time that is best for me, not a structured appointment that you sometimes get. I am more open whenever I can type my answers and my thoughts/ feelings and she respects that and allows me to do that without question of a phone call or a video session. She understands how busy I am, she understands what I am going through, and she is there for me whenever I need her. I would definitely recommend Crissy for anyone with a busy lifestyle and needs help coping with stress.
Crissy is warm and easy to talk to, and she made phone counseling feel very personal. She helped me sort through some very tough emotions. I appreciated her encouraging emails as well. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants support while working through a crisis or tough time. Empathetic and practical: a great combination!
Crissy is incredibly intelligent and I like that we have a lot in common. She approaches my statements with thought and understanding that I can see in her responses.
Crissy is a good counselor. She listens, shares her opinions, and is knowledgeable and understanding. I’m so happy and grateful to have an awesome counselor in my life. Crissy and BetterHelp are changing my life, I’m very grateful. Thank you Crissy and the Better Help team.
