Meet Chris
Life can be difficult. Far too many people suffer traumatic events or experience loss that leaves them in great emotional pain. Perhaps they're struggling with a mental illness that steals away their purpose and resilience for life. This is why I strive to offer a safe, compassionate, and professional space for people who are hurting. I am devoted to making our time together important and impactful.
