Hi, I’m Crystal!
Hi, I'm Crystal! I'm a Life Advisor based in New York, with roots in Portland, Missouri, and Los Angeles. My journey began in investigative journalism, where I honed my ability to uncover deeper patterns and ask the right incisive questions. Now, these are skills I use to help clients understand the frameworks shaping their reality and decisions.
Think of me as a Life Advisor, like a financial advisor—but for your inner and interpersonal world. My practice is designed for self-motivated individuals who have typically done therapeutic work and are now navigating complex social situations or decision points.
My Approach
I actively reject being labeled as a “coach.” I'm not here to tell you what to do or offer platitudes. I don't offer extensive game plans, motivational speeches or shape incentives—instead, I help you illuminate the frameworks and patterns shaping your reality, using the principle of Chesterton's Fence: before removing any barriers, we need to understand why they were put there in the first place and if they should stay or go.
My priority is providing informed, explicit perspectives that balance warmth with clear boundaries, respecting your autonomy and capacity for growth. If you struggle with articulating yourself or feel blocked in understanding how emotions influence certain aspects of your reality, my approach can help you gain the clarity you seek.
