Life sucks. Sometimes you need someone to help it feel less sucky. Other times, you just need someone to agree with you. Life is about balancing acceptance and change, and my therapy reflects that. My favorite therapies that I’ve seen change not only my clients’ lives, but also my life, include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and exposure therapy (ERP). But ultimately, I think the best therapy is being accepted for who you are. My expertise is in treating issues that result from anxiety (g...
Hello! Therapy is a process of self discovery. The decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength and an indication that you are willing to invest in yourself! The clients with which I work best share the willingness to commit to the process of therapy and do the hard work. My goal for each session is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where together we can explore and discover insights about your life, the root causes of stumbling blocks, and the means to help you heal, change, and grow....
My approach begins with the understanding that connecting with one’s self and others is a pathway toward finding meaning and fulfillment. This pathway of connecting can become blocked by old emotional wounds or current relationship struggles. The partnership formed in the therapy relationship becomes the platform where healing broken connections may occur. This approach can help bring about lasting change by getting at the ‘root’ of the problem and bring relief from symptoms. Central to Chris’ a...

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood d...
I believe everyone is capable of living the life they dream of— or at least close to it! Each individual is unique and has a subjective reality to guide their behavior and thinking patterns. Once this subjective reality is explored and understood, including the manifestations of the reality and the roots that created it, the individual can challenge and alter it to create a new, more fulfilling experience. Therapy is a space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an o...

I specialize in working with graduate students who are seeking a kind, sensitive, and curious clinician to guide them through the mental health rigors of academia. The journey of completing a graduate degree can be a stressor which exacerbates existing issues of perfectionism and anxiety; but it can also be a time of growth, insight, and self-discovery. My second area of speciality is grief and loss. Grief shows up in many ways, often during points of life transition. Break-ups, divorces, d...

My core theoretical orientation in graduate school was humanistic-existential, though I have also received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and C...

We have advanced training that can offer symptom relief and a path out of feeling hopeless. The good news is that with time and focus, most people can become symptom-free and manage difficulties from a place of inner strength. Our counselors have advanced training on how the brain and body respond to and hold onto the effects of trauma. Our team understands how t...
Coming from a spirit of warmth and optimism, I wholeheartedly believe that change is not only possible, but likely. People are resilient, and through the healing (and a little bit of humor…) that happens in the clinical space, clients can experience the growth they’ve been hoping for. I aim to leave clients with a sense that they are in a partnership with someone who is committed to their wellbeing. Throughout the years, my clients have often so generously shared with me reflections like, “...
