Crystal has always been a people person. Right from when she was a little girl, she enjoyed spending time listening and learning about people\u2019s stories. Most of her adult life she has spent as an accountant. However, she found that her true passion was always sitting with her clients and not behind a computer, as she found her relationships with her clients weren\u2019t always about numbers.<\/p>

She is married and has two teenage children. She enjoys spending time with her family, reading, travelling, and going to the lake. Crystal is thankful for every opportunity to learn through extra courses and involvement in memberships, committees, and boards, enabling her to be a part of facilitating change and growth in her community.<\/p>

Crystal completed her degree in the Master of Arts Counselling program at Providence University College & Theological Seminary. She is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) through the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and a member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). She has also taken\u00a0 additional coursework in Child and Adolescent Therapy, Chronic Pain, and Psychopharmacology.<\/p>

Crystal has a natural ability to put her clients she is sitting with at ease. She recognizes how important the therapeutic relationship is and is not there to \u201cfix\u201d clients but to journey with them on a path to healing. She is interested in working with a variety of clients.<\/p>

Crystal is designated as a Canadian Certified Counsellor. She is also a provider for the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba, Manitoba Public Insurance, HEB Manitoba, and an Employee Assistance Program provider for Dialogue.<\/p>

The Hummingbird<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe hummingbird symbolizes the enjoyment of life and lightness of being. Much like the hummingbird, we want to enjoy the sweetness of life, push away the negativity wherever it creeps in and express love more fully in daily endeavors. This fascinating bird is capable of the most amazing feats despite its small size, such as traveling great distances or being able to fly backwards. In the same way, we want to be encouraged to develop adaptability and resiliency while keeping a playful and optimistic outlook.<\/span>\n\n
