Great to meet you!

My approach to therapy

Christopher, like many counselors, tailors his treatment approach to the individual, couple or family he works with. He has worked with many diverse backgrounds of religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability, and works to help each person recognize and utilize their strengths to more effectively cope and celebrate their individuality.

What you can expect from me

Christopher uses evidenced-based treatment approaches that include CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, Mindfulness, Gestalt, and Motivational Interviewing. Goal progress and appointment frequency are discussed at the end of each session.
