I have worked with clients across the life-span with a broad of concerns including anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, low self-confidence, identity development, relational difficulties, parenting concerns, and developmental transitions.
Clients often seek therapy when they or their children are experiencing distress and/or want to better understand themselves and their relationships with others and their environment. I view each client as unique and seek to gain an in-depth understanding of their life and experiences and how they impact current difficulties. Using an integrated approach to therapy and intervention, I believe in the role of a strong therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to understand concerns, identify goals, and develop skills and knowledge leading to more adaptive functioning and improved quality of life.

You would be a better partner, friend, and parent: someone who is capable of saying "no" clearly, or "yes" wholeheartedly.
You are at your threshold and something has to give. Maybe you have been struggling for years, or maybe you have new stress that feels unmanageable. You've tried changing your diet, journaling, talking it out, and nothing seems to change. It may seem as though things will never be different in your life or your relationship. But, after years of experience working with others just like you, here is the truth: lasting change is possible. My clients come to me because they want a shift and are seeking support as they turn onto a new path. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, using a relational and intentional approach.

I’ve worked with individuals as they face a terminal diagnosis; with patients who have experienced losses in their relationships and livelihood due to mental illness or a chronic condition; with couples as they navigate role shifts, parenting, and caregiving of elder family members; with clients whose life experience of social marginalization have led to depression; and with those presenting to their primary care doctor for stomach pain and heart palpitations, only to learn that anxiety is the root cause.

I've counseled on parenting, LGBTQ, medical/chronic health and developmental disability, career and other life transitions.
I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has all rescues and I’ve volunteered with APS of Durham for over 10 years. Animal assisted therapy is generally done with the therapist's personal animal. My pre-Covid sessions were typically in home with you and your pet, developing more connection and emotional support. I moved my small practice to tele-health but try to be available and flexible to meet when you need. It’s also important that the therapy is a fit for what you need and you can be yourself. I’m building a therapy space in Hendersonville early 2025 for in person sessions.

Parenting children of any age is challenging in different ways, in the case of divorce, coparenting adds such complexity to your child's life and to the coparents. When you decide to have a child, we need resources, education, and support on what to expect and how to parent through stages of development. In divorced families, you switch from parenting together to coparenting and there is often high conflict between coparents as they attempt to navigate these unfamiliar life changes. Providing support and learning researched parenting and coparenting strategies can help give guidance to reduce conflicts and stress.

Hi, I’m Chris. No matter the reason that you find yourself exploring therapy, I have a few things I want to share with you: 1) It’s ok to be where you are right now. 2) You are doing the best you can with what you’ve got. 3) I want to help you be more you. While I have always had an interest in human psychology and wellbeing, the primary reason I entered this work was because of the healing, change, and growth I experienced in my own therapy. So, those three statements I shared with you aren’t platitudes to me. They are some of the most important lessons I learned through the work I did with my therapist.
