Cristyn received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas and a Masters in Professional Counseling from Amberton University in Garland, Texas. Her approach with counseling is one that is warm, compassionate, and also aims to understand where the patient is at in the midst of their individual struggle.

Cristyn often encourages everyone she works with to be patient with the process, recognizing that it is a process. Within that process, it does require active participation from the patient, and at times with support from family and close friends.
