Meet Your Provider
Hi there! I am Crystal, the founder and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Pathways Mental Health Services.
​
At my practice, I specialize in working with young adults, especially women, who are motivated to take charge of their mental health. My passion lies in supporting individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. I understand that mental health is deeply personal, and no two journeys are the same—that’s why I take an integrative approach to care.
​
I believe in looking beyond the surface of symptoms to understand the whole person. My treatment plans incorporate evidence-based medication management alongside lifestyle modifications, education, and supportive therapy techniques. Longer and more frequent appointments allow me to provide personalized, in-depth care that goes beyond a quick prescription. This extended time gives us space to explore your unique experiences, identify root causes of challenges, and develop a plan that truly works for you.
​
Whether you’re a student balancing academic pressures, a young professional managing career demands, or simply seeking guidance on your mental health journey, I strive to create a welcoming and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work towards lasting growth and healing—because you deserve a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with who you are.
