Hi there, I'm Christopher! Thank you not only for taking an interest in me, but also for taking the time to potentially form a relationship with someone new with whom you can be vulnerable. I help clients navigate a range of issues to make them feel safe, heard, and understood so they can make sound decisions. I use an amalgamation of different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), just to name a few. I use these in tandem with each other in hopes to achieve your goals the quickest.

You don't have to know exactly what's wrong before you begin therapy. Many of those I work with have spent years trying to understand themselves. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts, analyzed every conversation, and still find themselves asking, "Why do I keep ending up here?" Therapy with me isn't about rushing toward answers. It's about slowing down long enough to become curious together. We'll explore not only what happened, but how you've come to make sense of what happened and whether those meanings still fit the life you're trying to build today. I'm interested in how your mind arrives where it does.

I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2001. I have enjoyed my work with many individuals and couples. It has been very rewarding and fulfilling when see progress and growth in each of my clients throughout the counseling process. My approach in therapy emphasizes improving clients' emotional awareness. Once clients are aware and understand the triggers of their emotions, they are now "in control" of their emotions instead of emotions controlling them.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're searching for a qualified, compassionate Mental Health Counselor, you’re in the right place. Life is challenging, and we all face struggles that can feel impossible to navigate on our own. Avoiding our fears and emotions may seem like a way to protect ourselves, but in the long run, it can hold us back from growth and healing.

I believe strongly in the inner capacity of all humans to grow and heal in mind, body, and spirit from trauma or barriers faced in life. Due to our interconnected nature, this healing capacity is deepened and broadened through the assistance and support of others. I seek to hold a safe space through the therapeutic relationship to allow for the development of greater understanding and appreciation of self. Through this process, people begin to heal, make meaningful changes and courageously act in ways that reflect their authentic self.

When someone finds out I'm a psychotherapist, this question often comes next: "How can you listen to problems all day?" My response? "Oh no, that's not my job; I watch people become their best selves!" With 35 years of experience, fostering a client's voice and co-creating a road map are key to reaching goals. As a young adult client, my talk therapy allowed me to tell my story of deep hurts, wins and losses, hopes, and big dreams-ultimately learning who I am, uniquely, in this world. It was the transformational power and deep respect of the therapy process that drew me to become a clinician.
