More about Crystal
- 16 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Minnesota. I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 2006 and I have about 16 years of counseling experience under my belt. In those years, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals, couples and families in both residential and outpatient settings. Most of the people I have worked with have been those that have experienced significant trauma; however, I have also been able to work with those experiencing daily life stressors.
I have been told by many that I am easy to talk to and that is my main goal. I wish to offer an unbiased, non-judgmental, validating, and caring experience to those who are seeking help. Taking the first step to engage in therapy is difficult enough and it is my hope to offer comfort and reassurance during the process.
The approaches that I tend to gravitate towards are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client Centered, and Solution Focused. I believe with a mixture of these modalities most people can find their way through their tough times and get to a point where they feel more comfortable with life.
I definitely look forward to going on the journey with you to get to a better place with life and yourself.

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.

She’s seriously the best!!!
Crystal helped me with my marital issues and helped me communicate my wants and needs in the relationship. She is fantastic at her job and lucky to have her as a therapist.
Crystal is the best, I really appreciate all the support she gives me!
Crystal is knowledgeable and easy to talk talk to. She really helps.
I have only been working with Crystal for about a month snd a half so far. But personally I have seen improvement in myself with the things I have been suffering with. Still have a ways to go, but I know with working with Crystal and the hard work I’m doing l know I’ll be in a better place come with time. She gives me worksheets to do, and those are helping a lot. She is so easy to talk to. Responds quickly to my messages, is timely about joining video chat sessions. Timely about sending me worksheets when she says she will. Listens to what I have to say. I will continue to work with Crystal. I am very pleased with my experience thus far with Crystal. 12/10 experience!
She’s fantastic and the best support I need right now!
She is has helped me in a lot of ways.
Crystal has been an invaluable third-party listener to my life over the past few months. I’ve been able to count on her to give me an outside perspective that is both impartial but supportive. She also showed me how I respond well to having a task to do when things are feeling overwhelming for me, and she’s provided great worksheets and techniques for getting a handle on my anxious thoughts. I was in a rough emotional spiral during the pandemic due to interruptions to some mediocre coping techniques I was doing on my own. Crystal helped me take a step back, re-evaluate my feelings and stresses, and build better strategies for self-care to get me through this time, future stressful periods, and everyday triggers.
Crystal is extremely easy to talk to, I felt comfortable sharing with her immediately. She had great, practical, and implementable suggestions that have really helped me.
Crystal is great so far. We’ve only had two sessions, so I don’t think the questions about trust and expertise are applicable yet! Also, I really prefer morning appointments, and she doesn’t have any. Can that be changed?
Crystal has shown a lot of compassion and a willingness to provide many solutions and not just one thing. I've been to a variety of counselors in my life and she is right up there for being so responsive and caring.
Crystal is great! She is very knowledgeable and really listens to my concerns. I would highly recommend her as a counselor.
I love her ! She’s already helping me so much .
So far Crystal has been amazing. She completely gets me and give me great advice. She allows me to talk as much and fast as I want (cause I sure do a lot of those lol) and I def like her.
Crystal has been so responsive and so great! Sometimes I feel like my “need” for counseling isn’t that high but she has been so validating and reassuring!
Crystal has been a fantastic therapist! Very open, respectful and kind. Couldn't recommend highly enough
