LPC, 21 years of experience
Hey there, I’m Chris! If you feel like you’re giving everything you’ve got and it’s still not enough, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, emotional spirals, or shutdown, even though you look “put together” on the outside. Life, relationships, and work all feel like too much. You’re tired of being told to “just try harder” or "figure it out." I get it! I’m a licensed counselor with over 21 years of experience, and I know these struggles personally. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 36 and am raising three kids with ADHD, one of whom is autistic. I know how isolating it feels when we just can't keep up or "do the things" everybody else seems to do so effortlessly. My approach is compassionate and collaborative; we are teammates working together. Clients often say it’s the first time therapy has truly made sense. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about understanding yourself, building tools that actually work for you in your life, and creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and accepted. I offer online therapy in PA, FL, and SC.
We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve already tried, and what you want to get out of therapy. No pressure to have it all figured out. This is just a starting point. Together, we’ll set a couple of small, doable goals so you can begin feeling some relief right away. This isn’t about performing or saying the “right” things. I show up as my real, messy self so you can too. If you’re feeling unsure or overwhelmed, that’s completely okay. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. By the end of our first session, you’ll have a clearer picture of what’s next and at least one practical tool to take with you.
🎃 I’m direct but kind. You’ll get honesty with compassion. 🎃 I give you tools you can actually use, not just insight. 🎃 I understand these things two-fold, professional and personally. 🎃 I connect with people who’ve struggled to connect in therapy before. 🎃 I use humor and real talk. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical to be effective.
You’re smart, capable, and the one everyone else leans on, but you feel like you’re running on fumes. You might be navigating ADHD, Autism, Trauma, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or other patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you’re a professional who can lead a meeting with confidence but can’t get yourself to start the dishes at home. A parent who deeply loves your child but feels overwhelmed by the daily demands. A partner who longs for connection but pulls away when people get too close. If past therapy felt too surface-level or like the therapist didn’t really get it, you’re not alone. With me, you’ll get real support that actually fits your life. We’ll work on regulating your emotions and responses, improving follow-through, setting boundaries, and releasing old stories that keep you stuck. You don’t have to show up perfect. You just have to show up.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. We’ll build a toolkit that fits your life — not the other way around. This my include learning ways to calm your body when emotions run high, untangling patterns that keep you stuck, building strategies for follow-through, or finding creative ways to express things that feel hard to put into words. We might explore the different “parts” of you that show up in stress — like the inner critic, the perfectionist, or the "avoider" — so they stop pulling you in different directions. I also support executive functioning by helping you build realistic systems for focus, motivation, and task completion, especially when everyday things feel so overwhelming. Everything we use is practical, flexible, and designed to meet you where you are, not where others think you should be.

Before working with Chris, my attempts at talk therapy were unsuccessful - It often felt as though I was filling a time slot. I was drawn to her profile for her approach to therapy - She is genuinely here for YOU, and meets you wherever you may be. Her approach is compassionate, thoughtful, empowering, gentle, and above all else, realistic. I always feel welcome and safe during sessions with her, and I feel very blessed to be able to continue to meet with her for guidance and a good laugh.
