About CHRIS

Counseling focus

Our Philosophy

  I've been working in mental health for more than 20 years. I'm licensed in 5 different states and enjoy meeting and helping new people. I think that life’s challenges can leave us feeling lost, broken, or stuck in the past. But I believe that tragedy is not the end—it is the beginning of discovering a strength we never knew we had. Thro

  I've been working in mental health for more than 20 years. I'm licensed in 5 different states and enjoy meeting and helping new people. I think that life’s challenges can leave us feeling lost, broken, or stuck in the past. But I believe that tragedy is not the end—it is the beginning of discovering a strength we never knew we had. Through self-awareness, forgiveness, and a commitment to healing, we can rebuild, grow, and reclaim our power. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can finally open up without fear of ridicule or rejection. Together, we will confront past trauma, overcome obstacles, and navigate the path to a renewed sense of confidence and purpose. I am here to remind you that giving up is not an option—because healing is possible if we choose it.

 I have extensive experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, crisis intervention, trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, and I work with adults, couples, and groups. Currently my focus has been on helping individuals meet life's challenges head-on with the confidence that comes from a willingness to learn and grow. I work on a Private Pay basis and will accept insurance in the near future.
