Chris is a dynamic, creative psychotherapist. Chris has worked with children, families, couples, and adults in a variety of therapeutic settings for more than 20 years. His practice is based on the belief that we already possess the resources we need to create change in our lives. Rather than analyzing you, Chris works to help you discover your own ability to change and grow in whatever direction you wish to go. Together, you will work to develop greater awareness of how your feelings affect the choices you make. Through that understanding, you will learn how to create lasting change for yourself.

Chris does not believe that people, children, or adults ever need to be fixed. Rather, he knows that we all create patterns as we grow. When those patterns lead to unhealthy responses to situations, unhappiness, loneliness—then we need to understand and change those patterns.

His work with couples blends his intrinsic belief in the strength and vitality we all possess with a firm understanding of the challenges couples face. He helps couples recognize their struggles not as problems with one or the other partner, but rather as stuck places in the normal process of human growth and development. Helping each partner develop the ability to both know and communicate their wants and needs without blame (self- or other), he leads couples to see and tolerate healthy conflict as a growth process, while reducing the repetitive and damaging conflict that has gotten them stuck.

From children struggling with their families to trauma survivors, adolescents facing legal troubles to families or couples in distress, Chris has helped a wide variety of clients achieve greater happiness and fulfillment. His practice creates a safe and open environment to promote healing and growth.

 Whether you're facing a profound life transition, navigating the weight of grief and loss, adjusting to the changes that come with a new caregiving role, or somewhere in between — this is a space where your full experience is welcome. I specialize in supporting individuals through some of life's most tender and transformative moments: major life transitions, end-of-life caregiving, bereavement, perinatal to postpartum well-being, and maternal/parental mental health. These are experiences that can shake us to our core — and they deserve more than a surface-level approach. 

Healing here doesn't have to look one way. Each session draws from somatic awareness, mindfulness, creativity, & talk therapy — tailored to what feels right for you. Through this whole-person approach, we'll work together to reconnect with your resilience, release what no longer serves you, and find your way back to yourself — toward peace & fulfillment

My work is grounded in my training as an Art Therapist (ATR) and Psychotherapist (LPC/LCMHC), alongside study in somatic and polyvagal work, mindfulness-based practices, and attachment theory. I'd love to support you through whatever you're carrying. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
