About Me
Life Coach and
Clinical Therapist
I'm here to help you
As a Clinical Psychotherapist and Coach, I have over 25 years of experience in therapy, consulting, administration, and planning within community and academically-based social service agencies. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology (now Argosy University) in Chicago, Illinois.
I have worked closely with 100s of young adults, professional adults, and families to help them create massive shifts within their lives. I’ve counseled teenagers and adults who are experiencing difficulties within their lives. I help couples deepen
their connections and work through life events that often deteriorate the fabric of the relationship. I help businesses develop and maintain relationships that are cohesive, productive, and profitable.
I look forward to hearing from you today.
During my coaching experiences, it became clear very quickly that misunderstandings and assumptions, which are often avoidable, generally contribute significantly to the loss of communication in personal and professional relationships.
I think of a coaching relationship as one that helps you throughout your pursuit of a specific goal. That is why my brand embodies the Sankofa Bird, because it is important to acknowledge the past, affirm the desires to make positive changes now, and challenge the unproductive beliefs that keep you from excelling in your personal and professional goals.
It is my intention, in working together, to coach & assist you through your very own discoveries and development. The work is your responsibility and the tools, support and guidance are mine.

Testimonials
Client Gratitudes
Dr Crystal brings all her years of experience and training to you in a deeply personal way. She will meet you where you are and refuse to leave you there! When I arrived frustrated, fearful and with blurred vision for what my future would be, Crystal brushed away the cob webs and helped me see with fresh eyes. She helped me deal with obstacles from my past that I was dragging with me into the present. She delivered the tough love I needed to see clearly where I am in this moment and where I could go. Her advice is not always what you expect and may not even be what you want to hear. But she delivers exactly what you need to hear and does so with love and genuine caring. Most importantly she gives you the tools you need - practical advice - to heal, grow and become your best self.
I’m so grateful Crystal was recommended to me and I gladly recommend her to anyone who is ready to unlock their true potential.
