Hi, I’m Chris. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t traditional. I earned my bachelor’s degree in music education from Utah State University and taught junior high music for three years before becoming a school counselor, where I worked with students from kindergarten through 9th grade for five years. These experiences showed me the value of having someone to talk to. I pursued a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy because I’m passionate about helping people grow and heal in their relationships.

You’re tired of being told to “calm down” or “just focus”- like it’s that easy. Your brain won’t slow down, your emotions hit hard, and some days it feels like no one gets it. Maybe you’re lashing out, shutting down, or feeling like a mess inside. You’ve tried to hold it together, but it’s exhausting. This space is for you- or your teen- the ones who get told they feel too much, move too fast, and feel like they just can’t fake it anymore. You don’t need to be perfect to get support. You just need to show up.

I believe every woman, man and child has infinite value and worth. Whether we have experienced feelings of worthlessness because of our own actions or because of the actions of others, developing self-love is the pathway toward true joy. When we experience trauma, we develop false ideas about ourselves and the world that keep us in a place of fear, anger, and hopelessness. We make decisions based on those beliefs that cause ourselves and others despair. When we learn to love ourselves completely, we can find true healing within ourselves and the world in a deeply powerful way.

If boundaries are good for me, why are they so scary? Many of us were never taught how to set healthy boundaries with those around us, let alone know what a boundary even is. This can lead to you feeling pushed around, taken advantage of, or that you’re small, like your voice doesn’t matter. I’m here to tell you that your voice DOES matter, and that you get to make and set the rules of your life. You have the ultimate say, it’s just a matter of learning to trust yourself and being bold about what you want and need.

Maybe you're going through something painful or confusing—maybe it’s a recent life change, old wounds that won’t stay buried, or emotions that feel too big to handle alone. You might not know exactly what you need, but you know you'd like to feel better, more grounded, and more like yourself. What matters most to is finding a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to perform or protect others—where you can be real, be heard, and start to heal at your own pace.

You may benefit from working with a specialist. Physical tension, existential fears, mood swings, chronic stress, problematic habits and relationship patterns can all come from unresolved events (traumatic or otherwise). As long as these events remain unresolved, those struggles will continue. Maybe you've tried self-help books, coaches, or therapy before, but they felt like just another polite conversation or useful information that doesn't seem to actually spark change. You want to understand what's happening, why, and do something about it, not just be validated and change nothing.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
