With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.

Ready to stop managing the noise and finally start living?

You are exhausted from carrying everyone else's luggage. On paper, you are high-functioning, capable, and the one everyone turns to. But inside, the mental noise feels like a car alarm that has been blaring for days without stopping. You have tried analyzing your thoughts, policing your anxiety, and forcing yourself to stay calm, but your heart is simply tired of the old way of surviving.

You don't need another clinical checklist or a rigid set of coping mechanisms. You need a space where it is safe to completely drop your armor.

Hi, I'm Christopher, your dedicated LMHC committed to helping adults and young adults feel truly understood. Drawing from my professional background in mental health counseling, I specialize in anxiety, trauma recovery, navigating major life transitions, and building healthier relationships. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space filled with warmth and care, guiding you to rediscover strength, clarity, and hope through collaborative, supportive therapy, no pressure, just genuine partnership in your growth.

I believe that healing is most powerful when we feel seen, heard, and understood—especially when navigating difficult and vulnerable moments. Every client is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs and goals. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), with Mindfulness-Based Practices to promote self-awareness, acceptance, & stress reduction.

I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, and supporting women through the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and infertility. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside moving my body, and soaking up whatever sunshine I can find.

As a therapist, wife, mother of two, bonus mom to two stepchildren, and owner of an animal rescue, I bring not only 14+ years of clinical experience but also the wisdom gained from my full and colorful life. These experiences allow me to connect with clients through both professional insight and lived empathy. My goal is to help others find balance, healing, and fulfillment in every season of life.

I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.
