Crystal was amazing. I came in with severe anxiety and insomnia. I had tried everything I could think of to help. After just one visit with her I went home with new meds to try. I was skeptical but the first night I got 8 hours ofShow more good sleep. And my anxiety was gone. Thank you so much Crystal!! You are a miracle worker!
