Crystal is an educator, an advocate, a survivor, and a self-proclaimed thriver whose life’s work is rooted in the belief that what happens to us does not have to define what becomes possible for us.

For more than 25 years, Crystal has transformed personal experiences of trauma into a lifelong commitment to healing, advocacy, and systems change. Her journey has been one that has shifted from surviving trauma to helping transform the very systems that caused her harm.

As CEO of THRYVE LLC, Crystal works at the intersection of trauma, cultural responsiveness, liberation, leadership and systems transformation. She partners with organizations and leaders across the country to move beyond simply stating you are trauma-informed toward creating environments where people experience safety, belonging, dignity, voice, choice, healing, and the genuine opportunity to thrive.

During her career, Crystal has provided oversight of child and youth programs, responded to individuals and families in crisis, delivered mental health services, supported school districts in implementing trauma-informed strategies, and partnered with professionals and communities to strengthen culturally responsive and person-centered systems of care. She has served as an adjunct faculty member at both Florida State University and Southwestern College, teaching trauma-informed Social Work Practice and Multicultural Counseling, respectively.

Crystal is sought after nationally for keynote speaking, training, curriculum development, coaching, and consultation on human trafficking and exploitation, trauma-informed leadership, su***de prevention, motivational interviewing, racial and collective trauma, community and collective care, culturally responsive and anti-oppressive practice, child trauma and maltreatment, and systems transformation. Her work focuses on navigating the complexity of change, particularly in systems serving children, youth, families, and communities impacted by trauma and oppression.

A fierce advocate for social justice, Crystal challenges audiences to examine the systems they have inherited, the assumptions they carry, and the courage required to create something different. Across every setting, and throughout each training, her approach is grounded in the conviction that transformation requires more than adding new programs or administering another survey. Transformation requires changing the way we understand people, power, trauma, culture, leadership, lived experience and interact with one another.

Through her lived and learned experiences combined with her passion and purpose, her message is simple:

· We cannot transform systems without transforming how we see people.

· We cannot create healing-centered systems while ignoring the wounds within them.

· And we cannot ask people to thrive in systems that were never designed for them to flourish.

Our communities have been praised for being strong, resilient, unbreakable.⁣⁣⁣

Strength can become a mask.⁣⁣⁣

We were never meant to be monuments.⁣⁣⁣
We were meant to be human.⁣⁣⁣

You are allowed to be tired.⁣⁣⁣
You are allowed to be unsure.⁣⁣⁣
You are allowed to need.⁣⁣⁣
You are allowed to fall apart and still be worthy of love, care, and belonging.⁣⁣⁣

Strength is not the absence of struggle — it’s the presence of community.⁣⁣⁣
