I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience providing mental health support across diverse community settings. I have had the privilege of working with individuals ranging from young children to older adults, supporting them through a wide spectrum of emotional and behavioral challenges commonly described in the DSM-5-TR. I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and healing power within every person. My role is to help individuals uncover that strength, make sense of their experiences, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. I pursue this work not for financial gain, but because I truly love what I do and feel honored to walk alongside others on their healing journey.

I became a therapist because I lived the question my clients carry: Who am I underneath everything I've been told to be?
I know firsthand how deeply childhood experiences, adult trauma, and the messages we absorb from parents, partners, and systems can shape — and distort — how we see ourselves. Many of my clients arrive believing something is fundamentally broken in them. My job is to help you discover that's never been true.
What sets my work apart is that I treat the whole picture. I don't just address symptoms — I explore how your history, your nervous system, your neurobiology, and even your epigenetics created the patterns keeping you stuck. That's how change becomes permanent, not just temporary relief.
I also bring something most therapists can't offer: a commitment to never judge. Whether you're navigating a life others don't understand, a diagnosis that's felt like a label rather than a doorway, or relationships that don't fit a conventional mold — you are safe here.
And I believe this with everything I have: it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.

The name of my practice is called, "Back Porch Therapy." I chose this name when I did indeed have a large back porch that always reminded me of warmth, safety, and security. The porch is now gone; however, my home office/or telehealth is warmly decorated in a pleasing and comfortable manner. You will receive the same smile I show in my profile picture!

Hi, I’m Crystal. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas State University. I’ve spent the last four years focused on counseling and therapy, along with nearly 10 years of prior experience in clinical social work and case management. My background allows me to support clients navigating complex life challenges with both compassion and practical guidance.
I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other trauma-related experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can process your experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

Hello! I am glad you found your way here and I have the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a trauma-trained Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with more than 16 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. My professional background includes extensive work with trauma survivors, as well as children, adolescents, and adults navigating mental health concerns and life transitions. If you are visiting this page, please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Take the next step in your self-care journey and reach out by phone or email to learn more about how we can work together.
I believe it is important for clients to find a counselor that fits their personality. I combine effective research based approaches with a warm, friendly, southern personality. There is almost always laughter somewhere in my sessions, even on the tough days. Client's should leave counseling sessions with a feeling of being lighter, understood, and valued.
Life is hard and we all face challenges that can feel too big to handle on our own. Luckily you don't have to walk through these challenges alone.
