About My Clients
Have you been through a lot, yet struggle to cope and thrive? You want to reclaim your power and life, and heal from the past rather than relive it. You feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and that life has completely derailed. Trauma profoundly changes all aspects of life, altering your worldview, nervous system, ability to trust yourself/others, and sense of self. Whether you are here because of a single or multiple event(s), I am here to support you.
My Background and Approach
Specializes in sexual trauma and the associated symptoms (e.g. depression, anxiety, dissociation) resulting from violence. Krystal received specialized training in somatic trauma therapy and complex trauma. She offers a warm, grounding, engaged, and compassionate presence. By integrating a blend of approaches (sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic, mindfulness, neurobiology, polyvagal theory, psychodynamic, attachment theory, relational), she meets you where you are and customizes treatment based on your history, needs, strengths, and response. * Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level I *
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You have the ability to not only survive, but heal and transform from the legacy of trauma. Krystal holds and embodies the belief that you are here right now because your body formed miraculous ways of surviving. However, what helped you before might not be as helpful right now. It is possible to recover, expand your ways of coping, put the past behind you, and come home to your body - your self. As a first-generation Asian-American, she also understands shared experiences of alienation, family pressure, secrecy, shame, mental illness and trauma, violence, childhood loneliness, and marginalization. Healing is possible - this journey is unique to you. If you are ready to address and work through your past so that you can live more fully live in the present moment, please contact Krystal to get started. I would be honored to join you. You are not alone.
