What's My Approach to Therapy?

Hi, I’m Crystal. I specialize in helping first responders, veterans, healthcare professionals, and adults heal from trauma, anxiety, and the lasting effects of challenging experiences. Through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-focused counseling, I support clients in processing painful memories, operational stress injuries, reducing symptoms, and building resilience for the future. My approach is compassionate and practical. I believe healing isn’t just about reducing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your sense of worth, restoring balance, and creating a life that feels meaningful. Whether you’re coping with workplace trauma, childhood wounds, or ongoing stress, I offer a safe, supportive space where lasting change is possible.

My Practice & Services

My practice is entirely online, offering secure video sessions that allow you to access therapy from the comfort of your own space, anywhere in British Columbia. I work with adults who are ready to move beyond survival mode and create lasting change. In addition to trauma-focused therapy, I provide consultation and supervision for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapists, supporting clinicians who are working toward certification or simply want to deepen their skills with complex trauma cases. I believe therapy should be a supportive and collaborative experience. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and equipped with tools that truly work in your daily life.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in helping people heal from post-traumatic stress, anxiety and complex trauma. Many of my clients are first responders, veterans, or healthcare professionals who are coping with the impact of their work. I also support adults navigating the effects of childhood trauma, narcissistic family dynamics, grief, and burnout.

My Therapy Focus

My focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you can process painful experiences, reduce symptoms, and build resilience. I use EMDR and trauma-informed approaches to help you move beyond survival mode and reconnect with your sense of self. My goal is to support you not only in healing from the past but also in reclaiming your confidence, relationships, and vision for the future.
