I believe that even in the midst of struggles you have the power and ability to grow towards change and healing. I am a counselor that believes that the client is the expert of their own life. My goal when working together is to see, value, and understand your experiences. From there we will build resources, both internally and externally so that you feel rooted through life’s ebbs and flows. I work with individuals who are suffering from trauma, grief/loss, anxiety and depression, and with individuals/couples who have difficulties with emotional regulation.

Many people come to therapy wanting to eliminate parts of themselves they don’t like.
ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent conditions are hot topics these days. Many adults seem to be realizing their brains function a little different than your average bear. I’m here to tell you: that neuro-spiciness you’re experiencing isn’t a problem, it’s a gift. Hi, I’m Chris and I was diagnosed with ADHD in the third grade, back when people had no idea what to do with kids like us. Fast forward to today and I’m a therapist working with other neurodivergent adults trying to figure out how to navigate life’s challenges and thrive in a world that doesn’t always feel like it’s built for us.

I believe that we all want to feel respected, valued, significant and safe. So much of our pain and confusion comes from our own (often subconscious) attempts to find this sense of security. While these attempts have helped us make it this far, they often prevent us from living the life we truly long for.

When we think and act in ways that don’t align with who we are, it can cause us to treat ourselves or others badly. In other words: who you are is not who you’re being. It can feel directionless when we want to feel like ourselves again, but don't know where to start. I have felt this way myself and know how defeating it can feel -this is why I want to help. If you have been feeling off for a long time or just a short while, the most important thing is to make one step towards something good. As a therapist, I can give you direction and work with you to step towards the version of yourself you want to be.

As a man, I was always scared to go to a couples counselor because I was sure I was going to be the "bad guy" and was defensive.
Three decades of experience helping couples and individuals overcome problems and begin to thrive again. I work with individuals and couples struggling with everything from Sexual Secrets to Breaches in Trust such as Infidelity, Resentments, Lies, Sex, Kinks, Non-traditional Relationships, Mixed Orientation Relationships, ENM, Lifestyle, Bi+ topics, and the myriad of challenges that we all face. They don't have to be road blocks, it's what we do with them and how we use them to learn and grow to become a better partner and ally to each other and ourselves. See the link to the left for our website for more info.

It's been a long journey with you and your loved one. There have been some incredible times but right now things are rough. Seemingly little things turn into big blowups. At this point, you are just tired to the point of exhaustion and are worried that the distance between you will continue to grow.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe environment where we can join together in working through whatever you are struggling with. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with a variety of personal and relational problems, and seek to restore hope, meaning, and connection. My hope is that through counseling you will feel more known and connected to yourself and to others.

This is a family therapeutic practice, founded by two parents in the field, where we are focused on connecting individuals and family to therapy, testing, medication management and resources that they need to create lasting change.
I don’t have a couch, and I’m not going to ask you to talk about your feelings all session. You have a problem, and I want to help you find the solution, so you don’t need to come to therapy. In my experience, people tend to come to therapy due to something failing to grow or be safe. Unsafe emotions, unsafe behaviors, lack of communication, lack of connection, and understanding that these issues arise in all relationships rather we are talking about parent child or intimate partners. How we deal with conflict matters, because it dictates the relationship and boundaries with our kids, friends, family, and partners.

Because of my family therapy experience couples seek me because I understand the dynamic of males and process fairly.
Check out our website for more details! I became a therapist because of a void that has existed for decades. A void that allowed black and brown people to be left to find sometimes inadequate ways of dealing with real mental health issues. As you search you will find very few people that look like me that are in profession of mental health. This is unfortunate. Although my caseload is hugely diverse, what comforts my clients is I represent what in my field is lacking...a representative from a disenfranchised group of people helping to build up the individual, repairing relationships and making families whole.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
