Meet Chris
Life can be difficult. Far too many people suffer traumatic events or experience loss that leaves them in deep emotional pain. Perhaps struggling with a mental illness 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.
My clients soon learn that our time together is a collaboration where we have empowering conversations that include sometimes speaking hard truths, facing difficult life choices, and making necessary changes. Throughout our work in the therapy space, I am devoted to making our time together important and impactful.

My continued training is focused on evidence-based, trauma-informed material designed to maximize the opportunity for clients to experience desired change.
