Meet Crystal
My path into this work didn't come from one place—it came from a deep curiosity about what truly helps people change.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, and for more than two decades I have supported individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, life transitions, women's issues, and the complex challenges that arise in the middle passages of life. Throughout my career, I have been committed to helping people move beyond survival, reconnect with themselves, and create lives aligned with their deepest values.
Early on, I was trained to support others through talk therapy, and I saw how powerful it could be to be witnessed, understood, and held in difficult moments. Yet over time, I began to notice that insight alone wasn't always enough. People could understand their patterns and still feel stuck repeating them.
That realization led me beyond traditional psychotherapy and into the study of embodiment. As a 200-hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher, Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor, Reiki Master, and student of both Q'ero and Celtic Shamanic traditions, I began exploring how healing occurs not only through the mind, but through the body, spirit, imagination, and our relationship with the larger world around us.
Through training with the Q'ero lineage in Peru, ongoing studies in Core and Celtic Shamanism in Scotland, and years of personal practice, I discovered approaches that complement modern psychology by engaging the deeper layers of experience—those parts of ourselves that don't respond to insight, logic, or willpower alone.
The Threshold Process grew from this journey.
It is an integration of modern psychology, embodied awareness, mindfulness, ceremony, and shamanic practice. Together these approaches create a space where healing becomes more than understanding. The work is about transformation—learning how to embody change, reconnect with purpose, and move through life's thresholds with greater clarity, authenticity, and courage.
I believe healing happens in relationship: relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to walk alongside you as you discover what is ready to emerge.
This is the work I feel called to offer—a grounded, integrative approach that honors both science and spirit, helping you move through your threshold and into a life that more fully your own.
Meet Rob
After a full swing through the boom-and-bust world of resort real estate, Rob found his way back to what always made the most sense—being outside, on the land, doing real work you can see at the end of the day. It’s a return, in many ways, to the farm life he first tasted as a kid in Vermont, now lived with a little more intention (and a lot more perspective).
What once lived in books—his college studies in religion and philosophy—has come back around in a much more grounded way. These days, it shows up through his connection to Shamanic Practices, where the focus isn’t on theory, but on experience—listening, paying attention, and actually living the questions he used to study.
You’ll often find Rob taking pictures and running up mountains (he really does this!) or out in the fields, wandering the woods, tending, fixing, noticing what’s changed since yesterday. He’s just as likely to be sharing that space with others—whether it’s a walk through the trails, a conversation that turns into something deeper than expected, or simply standing still long enough to take it all in. And if you stop by, there’s a good chance he’ll hand you a solid cup of coffee and a story or two—drawn from a long history of misadventures, and told in a way that may or may not stick too closely to the facts.
For Rob, this is where it all comes together—the land, the work, the stories, and the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet) practice of paying attention.
