Great to meet you!

Chris is a Licensed Professional Counselor with several years of experience delivering holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centered care. His integrative therapeutic approach draws on Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and multicultural perspectives. As a therapist, his goal is to empower you to tap into your inner strength and resilience, giving you the tools to reclaim control over your life. He strives to create a space that is compassionate and empathetic; a space where you can express yourself freely and without judgement. Chris collaborates with clients to address life’s transitions, chronic health concerns, trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and identity-related issues.

My approach to therapy

I see our therapeutic partnership as a journey, where you’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m here to guide and support you. My approach is integrative, combining Brainspotting, SFBT, CBT, DBT, and multicultural perspectives. We’ll tailor this approach to fit your unique needs, helping you navigate your path, and find new directions when needed.

What you can expect from me

During our first meeting, we'll get to know each other, ensure we're a good fit, and begin building a plan around your goals. From there, each session becomes a shared, judgment-free space where you can freely express yourself at your own pace. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns shaping your life, make sense of what may be holding you back, and identify actionable steps to help you move forward with purpose.
