Hi, I am Crystal and I specialize in working with neurodivergent teens and adults. As a neurodivergent human myself I know the struggles of living in a neurotypical world. 

In my late 20’s  I learned self-acceptance and the best ways to manage my own executive dysfunction and trauma with the help of a coach much like myself. 

I have been mentoring teens and young adults with this very thing for the past 10 years. With a B.A. in Theatre, an M.S. in Psychology, and a background in positive behavioral support, and executive functioning coaching. I offer a creative, collaborative, and exciting mentoring experience while also giving my mentees respect, acceptance, patience, and a listening ear. I strive to assist adolescents and young adults in developing coping skills to navigate some of the most challenging life circumstances. Over the past 10 years, I have played a major role in many success stories and I would be honored to help you reach your full potential.
