Do you feel like you're running at full capacity with no room left to breathe? On the surface, you have it all together: the high-performing professional, the dependable parent, the supportive partner. Underneath, it's different. Anxiety that won't quiet. Depression creeping in. Burnout from roles that never let you clock out. Often it's all of them at once, tangled together until they blur. I bring an engineer's mindset to therapy. My background in Mechanical Engineering shaped how I see problems, not as isolated issues but as complex systems needing recalibration. Most high-achievers I work with are tired of surface-level talk therapy; they want results. Together, we analyze what's actually breaking down, whether it's depression, anxiety, career burnout, or family dynamics. We build a concrete evidence-based plan using tools such as DBT and EMDR to process trauma and tackle performance issues. For over a decade, I've guided clients through major life transitions, for example career pivots, new parenthood, and loss, toward lives rooted in purpose and sustainable well-being.
Our first session is about getting to know you and understanding what's bringing you to therapy. It's also a chance for you to see if I can be the right fit for your journey. Together, we'll explore your concerns, set realistic goals, and create a plan to help you move forward. I'm committed to building a supportive and trusting relationship where you feel comfortable and empowered. By the end of our first session, I hope you'll feel heard, understood, and hopeful about the possibility of positive change.
Think of our first session as a diagnostic conversation, not a high-pressure deep dive. We’ll use this time to get to know you and understand what has brought you here: how your life, relationships, stressors, and coping patterns are functioning right now, not simply the symptoms on the surface. It is also an opportunity for you to decide whether I am the right fit for the direction you want to go. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. This is a place to set down the high-performer mask and speak honestly about where things stand. Together, we will explore your concerns, identify realistic goals, and begin creating a clear blueprint for moving forward. If past therapy has felt unfocused or lacking direction, you are not alone. Our work will combine a supportive, judgment-free environment with a practical, step-by-step approach. We will establish clear goals and map out an actionable path that reflects your needs, values, and next steps. By the end of our first session, my hope is that you will feel heard, understood, and more hopeful about what is possible. If you are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and begin building a life that truly works for you, let’s connect.
I do my best work with individuals who are ready to create meaningful, lasting change and appreciate a clear, confident path forward. My practice is designed to be deeply encouraging, purposeful, and centered on tangible growth in everyday life, relationships, and personal well-being. Together, we create space to understand your experiences, strengthen emotional resilience, build healthier patterns, and move toward the life you want to lead. Whether you are feeling weighed down by the heavy fog of depression, caught in the relentless, exhausting loop of anxiety, or struggling to break free from the intrusive thoughts and behaviors of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. These conditions can easily make you feel stuck, disconnected, or completely overwhelmed by your own mind. My goal is to help you untangle these complex emotional responses and regain a sense of control over your narrative. When treating anxiety, we focus on calming your nervous system, challenging catastrophic thinking, and identifying the root causes of your worry so you can engage with the world more freely. For those battling depression, we work step-by-step to reignite your motivation, rebuild your self-worth, and find authentic joy in your daily routine again. If you are dealing with OCD, we utilize targeted strategies to disrupt the rigid cycle of obsessions and compulsions, ultimately empowering you to live according to your values rather than your fears. Using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, and ACT, I offer a collaborative and organized counseling experience tailored to your goals. If you are ready to invest in yourself, I am here to help you cultivate greater clarity, confidence, connection, and a grounded sense of purpose.

When we integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into our work, my focus is on helping you understand the mechanics of your mindset. I help in identifying how specific thought patterns drive emotions and behaviors, and how making small, intentional shifts in thinking can lead to massive improvements in daily life. Together, we will build practical, real-world skills to reduce distress, rebuild confidence, and respond to challenges in healthier, more productive ways. CBT provides a highly effective, structured framework for navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic stress, and grief. It gives us a concrete way to define, name, and work through the complex thoughts and issues you are facing. CBT strengths are supportive, deeply goal-oriented, and focused on helping you make sustainable progress, one actionable step at a time.
When we integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into our work, my focus is on equipping you with a toolkit for emotional resilience. I guide clients in mastering specific, practical skills to stay grounded, manage intense mood changes, and to be able to communicate needs effectively. We will work together to build strategies that allow you to pause, evaluate, and choose how you want to respond. DBT is supportive, deeply purposeful, and centered on everyday application. Together, we will translate these clinical concepts into real-world habits, empowering you to navigate life’s highs and lows with confidence and control.
Sometimes, the repetitive "loops" we find ourselves in whether that is sudden anxiety, emotional burnout, or persistent self-doubt are driven by past experiences that haven't been fully processed. Think of unhealed trauma as a an old event that gets stuck on repeat, keeping your nervous system locked in a constant state of hyper-vigilance and survival mode. When we utilize EMDR in our sessions, the goal is to help you break free from the past experiences that are currently weighing you down. We work together to identify the specific memories, beliefs, and physical sensations that maybe holding you back, and use EMDR to help your brain naturally process and release that distress. This isn't talking through the past; it is about fundamentally shifting how those memories impact your daily life, your relationships, and your self-worth. Because of its unique neurological focus, EMDR is exceptionally effective for treating trauma, chronic anxiety, and deeply ingrained negative self-talk. My approach to this therapy is highly focused and organized around your specific goals. You do not have to carry the emotional weight of old wounds forever. EMDR could help you finally feel freedom and healing from the past.
As a Christian counselor, I provide compassionate support and guidance to individuals seeking to navigate life's challenges through a faith-based perspective. By integrating Christian principles with therapeutic techniques, I help clients achieve mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering wisdom and hope, as we work together to foster healing, growth, and a deeper connection with God.
When we integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into our work, my focus is on helping you stop fighting your internal experience so you can redirect your energy toward building a more meaningful life. I guide clients in recognizing that attempting to control, eliminate, or run from uncomfortable thoughts and feelings often fuels anxiety and depression. Instead, we work together to cultivate psychological flexibility, learning how to make room for difficult emotions and building progress in the life you want to live. Because ACT is grounded in active, purposeful change, it is a powerful framework for breaking free from anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. We will identify what truly matters to you in your life, work, and relationships and build a clear plan to take committed action toward those goals, regardless of the obstacles your mind creates.

Chris is very diligent about hearing both parties in couples therapy and finding a solution that both of us can listen to and recognize. This always tends to bring back warmth between the two of us which I appreciate and it makes us want to come back to our sessions every week.
