Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
In establishing a therapeutic relationship between you and myself is to begin with an inviting warm welcome and thank you to you by allowing this journey of engagement between us. All relationships take risks and I am honored to provide a safe space for open dialogue between us.
I combine many therapeutic modalities (i.e.,CBT, DBT, to develop your treatment plan by using a strengths-based approach to empower goals tailored to your needs and areas of concern.
I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidenced-based psychotherapy designed to help people with emotional dysregulation to treat mood disorders, suicidal ideation, and for change in behavioral patterns such as self-harm and substance abuse.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve your mental health by focusing on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortion and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
I use Solution Focused Therapy, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach which incorporates positive psychological practices, principles, and outcomes that helps people change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on their problems. SFT is most commonly known to be a friendly, hope-eliciting, future- orientated vehicle for developing, achieving, motivating and sustaining a desired behavioral change.
I use Narrative Therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help people identify their values and skills and knowledge they have to live these values, so they can effectively confront the problems they face in a safe manner. This may also provide space to reflect on historical trauma and family values as it relates to the individual and their goals.
My goal is to establish a connection, whereby both you and I will partner, addressing that each person is an individual and worthy of a safe space to heal within themselves and within their relationships.

Narrative Therapy helps clients clarify values and draw on their knowledge and strengths, and can create space to reflect on family history or past traumatic experiences when relevant to the client’s goals.
Crenshaw works with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting difficulties, anger management, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and coping with life transitions.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best – via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. This combination of proven effectiveness and flexible access makes online therapy a practical choice for many seeking support.
