Krystal is a compassionate and courageous Licensed Clinical Social Worker, family therapist, and mediator who believes that conflict doesn’t have to mean the end of connection. With over 10 years of experience working in high-conflict domestic violence cases, CPS, and juvenile justice, she knows firsthand how challenging and scary legal processes can feel—and she’s dedicated to helping people find healing and hope through those times.
A USC graduate and author of Deep Inner Soul Healing with Self-Empathy, Krystal combines her forensic and trauma-based expertise with a deeply empathetic approach. She sees mediation not just as a way to resolve disputes, but as a powerful tool for personal growth, rehabilitation, and reunification.
Krystal understands the complex path many walk toward healing, including the realities of recidivism and the challenges within the juvenile justice system. As a practice owner and therapist, she creates a safe, courageous space for her clients to explore their stories, reclaim their power, and move forward with renewed connection.
She knows court-ordered therapy and mediation can be intimidating—but she’s walked alongside so many people, offering steady support and encouragement every step of the way. For Krystal, trauma-informed care is about more than treatment; it’s about restoring dignity, fostering empathy, and opening the door to new possibilities.
