You and I both know that life can feel unbelievably messy, unpredictable and chaotic. It's easy to get lost in the frenetic juggling of home life, work life and relationships. You can lose your sense of purpose, direction and even who you are. Experiencing some measure of difficulty, distress and pain IS life, but what happens when your usual ways of coping no longer work? It can be all too easy to surrender to the unrelenting waves of frustration, despair and disillusionment when faced with difficult experiences.

Are you searching for a therapist who gets and affirms the effects of family dysfunction? Who embraces the powers of queerness, neurodivergence, and/or having a creative mind? My therapy practice aligns with my personal values of anti-capitalism, social justice, and living “unconventionally.” I support clients with a holistic perspective so that they may find the relief they need with family conflicts, relationship issues, addiction, life transitions, meaning/purpose distress, and connection to self. My approach to therapy is different than the norm, as I believe support should reflect our authentic selves & our social realities.

Change is hard. It's particularly challenging when a lifestyle is built around behaviors that used to work. Fear, guilt, embarrassment, and anger often are a normal part of the process of becoming aware of the need for change. Sometimes these feelings create a barrier to the necessary change that brings relief. If you struggle with problematic substance use, either your own or someone else's, you know these statements are true. You just want reassurance that it is possible for life to be different...easier. It can be. Once a decision is made to take action...any new action...hope begins to come into focus.

If you tell yourself: “I can’t keep living like this,” we'll be a good fit. I specialize in individuals, couples, and families who've been impacted by suicidal thoughts and related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). These people are cycle-breakers who want to change old family patterns; stonecatchers who try to protect others from mistreatment because they know how it feels; or those who are simply tired of feeling “just ok.” Ultimately I blend the nerdy science of psychology with humility and humor to support you in building a more meaningful life.

My name is Chris. I believe that healing happens in safe spaces where people are allowed to be their authentic selves, maybe for the first time in their life! I specialize in working with teens & adults who have ADHD, anxiety, school or work struggles, or just figuring out how to navigate being themselves in broken systems. I am also passionate about helping men, women, and gender-nonconforming persons cultivate healthy expressions of emotions and behaviors in all facets of their lives. I am also experienced in helping people develop and maintain healthy relationships, whether that’s romantic, familial, or friendship.

My practice is focused on decreasing anxiety and fear to help my clients develop a clearer idea of who they are, what they feel, and what they need. Clients who seek my care are often looking for ways to feel more confident and less fearful of the future so they can live in the moment, instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Feeling the need to achieve at all costs, focusing only on “what’s next”, and feeling a constant need to stay busy are all experiences I help adults learn to recognize, reframe, and conquer.
