About me

I am a mental health therapist specializing in trauma, grief, and addiction. My goal is to support those who put themselves on the line for others, helping them move forward and continue doing what they love."

Hi, I’m Chris.
I was raised in a family of firefighters and before becoming a therapist, I was a full time Firefighter/AEMT. That chapter of my life gave me a raw, firsthand look at crisis, high-stress environments, and the deep impact of trauma and loss. It also taught me what it truly means to navigate a crisis and come out the other side. Today, I bring that real-world insight into my practice to help people heal, recover, and rebuild.

In my practice, I specialize in working with people who feel stuck. Whether you feel frozen by a traumatic experience, weighed down by grief, trapped in cycles of addiction, or just overwhelmed by life’s stressors, I get it. When you’re in survival mode, it feels impossible to move forward.

My goal is to help you break through that wall. Because everyone processes things differently, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I utilize evidence-based tools designed to help your mind and body finally let go of the stress it’s holding onto. My training and certifications include:

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) & Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART):

Trauma & Grief Specializations (CCTP & CGP):

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Veteran & Military Mental Health (CVMHP)

Therapy with me is a collaborative, down-to-earth partnership. You don’t have to carry the weight of everything you’ve been through alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck in the survival loop. Let’s work together to reforge your life.
