Hello! I am Crystal.
I am an EMDR therapist specialised in working with the bereaved community and the adoption community. To me, people from both communities share something in common, a sense of loss, the need to make new meanings out of unfortunate circumstances, and the wish to live life to the fullest while embracing the past. If you want to know more about my clinical experience, check out my LinkedIn profile!
While I strongly believe in the importance of therapeutic boundaries, I also appreciate you want to know who you’re working with. Here are some things I can proudly disclose about myself:
3 things I’m proud of:
- I have a full sleeve of tattoo
- My favourite plant milk is oat milk
- I love my cat PJ
3 things I’m working on:
- ‘Bird of paradise’ yoga pose (I can’t get my leg straight!)
- Completing Therapeutic Life Story Work training
- Be a better vegan baker
