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 many of your goals, but you feel a place of emptiness somewhere inside, a bit lost, sometimes scared.
  • ​​Perhaps the chaos of your childhood has caught up to you.  
  • You know some of the hurts as a member of the global majority are still with you, maybe even passed down through the family line.
  • Something feels stuck - coming as far as you have, but still feeling something isn't right.
  • You feel things deeply, and not everyone gets that.
  • You just 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 find the place you've always had within you that holds clarity, confidence, courage, compassion and creativity. With this connection to your truest Self, we work together to help you get unstuck.

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

We can work on what stands in your way... the guilt, the fear, the feelings of inadequacy, the experiences of being marginalized...

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 that you can find greater calm and peace, even when the challenges of the world remain.

So you can be more present for today.
Enjoy the people in your life that you love so much.
Become more empowered to do your life's work.
Be led by your authentic self.

Specialties

Trauma Therapy

​Painful experiences have a way of creeping from the past into the present. It doesn't have to remain that way.  We can work to bring healing to the hurt so you can feel more 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.  In counseling, 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. There is nothing wrong with you because of your suffering.
The world, our American culture, our families of origin, all shape our experiences and how we've learned to cope and make decisions for ourselves.  It can be daunting. But it doesn't have to be a life sentence.
One of the ways we work towards relief 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 on processing the past where it may have started from the beginning, giving you more clarity, peace, and courage in and for the present.

What if therapy stirs up problems in my current relationships?
I'd be lying if I said your relationships will not change.  They may shift.
As you gain more clarity about yourself, 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 connections that fulfill you.

​You don't have to reach the point where you feel like you have to give up.

You don't have to keep going losing time, burning out, or suffering more.

You can get find more contentment in your work and your relationships.

You can find yourself, your authentic self.

You can find your voice...and use it with confidence.

Let's help you understand what is really happening.

Let's do the work... at a pace that you get to choose...that feels safe.

Let's dig deep.

Let's give you room to process.

Let's get you practicing what you learn.

Let's tackle the worry, guilt, the "not good enough." 

Let's connect you to your authentic self so you can share it with the world.
