You're doing ok.  Better than before.  You've achieved a lot for yourself.  But the past is getting in the way.  You want relief so you can enjoy the present.

Maybe you're feeling like you've reached so many goals, but you feel empty, lost, scared.
  • ​​Perhaps the chaos of your childhood has caught up to you.  
  • It feels like a midlife crisis - coming as far as you have, but still feeling something isn't right.
  • You feel things deeply, and not everyone gets that.
  • You want to be your authentic self.
Your frustration and confusion are understandable.

         What you are experiencing makes sense.

                   You don't have to give up, or suffer more, or lose precious time.  

You can become empowered.  

       You can find greater peace and confidence.
​
                 You can gain more authenticity in your life.

Hi there.

I'm Crystalyn and I'm here to help you understand how your past is invading your present, so you can fully embrace the life you've created for yourself.

In therapy, we can make sense of everything that has happened to you.

We can work towards healing what stands in your way... the guilt, the fear, the feelings of inadequacy...

So you can understand not only how you've been affected, but how you've protected yourself over the years.

In a safe space, you can discover, within yourself, the place that has always been within you that KNOWS how to move through challenges.

So you can be fully present for today.
Feel peace.
Enjoy the people in your life that you love so much.
Become empowered.
Be your authentic self.

Specialties

Trauma

​Painful experiences have a way of creeping from the past into the present. It doesn't have to remain that way.  It is possible to bring healing to the hurt and find peace. Along the way, it's important to me that we move at a pace that feels safe to you.

The "I'm not good enough"

Sometimes life leaves you feeling inadequate, even when you know it's not true.  I can help you move through the guilt, feelings of unworthiness, and the fear that get in the way of your confidence.

Personal Growth

You know you've achieved a lot but want to step into continued growth.  We can dig deep to explore the space you'd like to move into so you can express who you are more authentically and freely.

What if I'm too broken to actually get better?
No one is ever too broken.
One of the ways we work towards change is by digging deep into what is underneath the anxiety, guilt, worry, sadness, or feeling not good enough.  In addition to finding ways to cope with your current challenges, we work to heal the past that started it all from the beginning.

What if therapy stirs up problems in my current relationships?
I'd be lying if I said your relationships will not change.  They very likely will.
As you heal, you will also learn more about what you need and want from the people in your life.  You'll become empowered to confidently bring that knowledge to the relationships in your life, to nurture connection that fulfills you.
