For more than 25 years I’ve been actively engaged in my own inner work. I know what it’s like to sit in the client’s chair, to face hard truths, and to stay with change over time. That experience shapes how I show up as a therapist. Our struggles—and the imperfect relationship we build with them—shape who we become. I’m here to help you create movement in that struggle and, in the process, grow into a more honest and grounded version of yourself.
Is therapy right for you?
Do you feel stuck in life—dissatisfied or frustrated with how you’re living? Do you find yourself running away from problems, instead of meeting them as opportunities for growth?
You aren't alone. Feeling dissatisfaction is part of the human experience, and sometimes also a reminder that something in your life needs attention. Our emotions let us know when something needs tending.
When we feel stagnant, listening to that discontent can help us create movement in stuck areas. Instead of running from the discomfort of emotions, it’s possible to experience them more skillfully and look for the intelligence in what they’re communicating.
Therapy is about beginning this kind of conversation with yourself so you can build a more practical and purposeful relationship with your emotional world.
What is therapy like?
Therapy is a collaborative experience between the client and therapist, which supports the client in exploring different aspects of their emotional, relational, spiritual, and psychological world.
​
When a client begins therapy, we may start by having a discussion of what brings the client to therapy. Maybe you want to create change in your life, but you are unsure how or what it might look like to change.
​
Change starts as we begin to know and build a deeper relationship with ourselves. Emotional struggles such as, anger management, pervasive sadness, and having trouble emotionally regulating can sometimes tell us something is unresolved in our life. Part of the therapy experience is to create an environment which promotes curiosity and safety to explore knowing our self better.
​
In therapy, we learn how to reconnect with parts of our experience that feel foreign. It is also a place to practice what connection means to us, and learn how we can reconnect with the self.
how can I make lasting change?
While the idea of change in our lives can sometimes seem like a scary proposition, it is important to see that change is woven into the fabric of being alive. We simply cannot live without changing and evolving as a person. Resistance to change is one of the primary ways we hold ourselves back from moving forward.
You deserve the best and for you to grow into the best version of who you are, you might want to consider embracing change.
​
How much are you holding back from experiencing your change and the new self you will become? How do you "shake hands with," and begin the process of getting to know your new self?
​
This process begins with taking one step on your new journey. One step after another, you create movement in life. As we get more consistent with our steps and little movements, change happens. You begin to build a friendship with who you are becoming.
TESTIMONIALS
“Before I started working with Chris, I was in a pretty bad head space. I was stuck in a "I'll be happy when __" mindset. This mindset was causing me to work too much and not make fun a priority. I felt like I wasn't enjoying my life which was causing all sorts of destructive thought patterns. Chris helped me to understand what I really valued so I could make my true values a larger priority. One of which was socializing and being a part of a community. To others, this might seem obvious, but for me it was a revelation. Chris was always supportive and offered thoughtful feedback. I would recommend working with Chris."
