As a licensed clinical social worker, I use an eclectic approach while treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, low self-esteem, grief, stress, and relationship conflict.
In our fast-paced world, feeling stressed, lonely, and confused is easy. How do I navigate these emotions, and who can I trust to help me process my fears, doubts, and deep secrets without judgment? With that in mind, I want every patient to walk into my room and know they have someone who will listen, connect, empathize with, and encourage growth.

We'll take a brain-body approach focused on deep processing of trauma, anxiety, & unresolved issues.
Ready to try something different? You've tried traditional talk therapy and have felt better, but still find yourself feeling stuck in the same thought patterns or going back to old behaviors. I help adolescents and overwhelmed adults process complex trauma using brain-body and alternative therapies. Complex trauma refers to "little t" traumas that compound throughout our life- from difficult childhood experiences to stressful life events. I especially enjoy working with adult children of emotionally immature parents.

Asking for support is a huge step and starting therapy can be anxiety inducing.
My name is Krystal, owner of Compassion Starts Within. I work with folks who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress, low self esteem, minority stress, and more. Life is hard and everyone is doing their best; the folks I support struggle to believe that their current best is enough and they feel defeated. They might be dealing with a negative internal dialogue stemming from past trauma or unattainable familial/societal expectations. Instead of making comparisons or fighting to "fit the mold" we find ways to make things work for us.

Intention is the starting point for meaningful change and psychotherapy can be the vehicle that can help you get there. Intentions for positive change involve considering both directions, the past and future. Unresolved emotional pain- the proverbial ghosts of the past- have a negative effect on well-being and can manifest in ways that limit your life whether you are suffering from depression and anxiety, addictive illness, or have relationship issues. Developing insight along with learning positive coping skills is a powerful approach to working through core emotional issues and problematic patterns that keep you stuck.

The main thing that differentiates us from talk therapy is that we have advanced training that supports growth & relief from trauma & anxiety.
As someone who suffered from anxiety & trauma, I can tell you that I spent years looking for the right therapist & I just wanted results. I knew I had the potential to achieve so much more and create a life that I was excited about living, but I didn’t know where to start. I saw many therapists over the years & I was sick of just TALKING & re-living things over and over without seeing improvement. Finally, I met a therapist that changed my life. He introduced me to brainspotting, & IFS. I was skeptical at first but I was open minded & tried it out. I learned that trauma is stored in the body & that talk therapy doesn’t address that.

I actively guide them through building on their own strengths as well as learning new skills in order to work through barriers and challenges they are facing.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
