He’s good at what he does

Written on Mar 09, 2022 after therapy with Christopher for 2 weeks on issues concerning bipolar disorder

Chris has been one of the most helpful professionals I’ve ever spoken to. He is very well versed in his field and highly equipped with coping skills, strategies, and current studies to help you get to the place you want to be. On top of that he’s very personable, he takes the time to get to know you, and he’s very warm and easy to talk to.

Christopher is wonderful. He is so well rounded in his knowledge and brings a variety of techniques and teachings to the therapy table. He is able to draw from multiple philosophies in order to really relate to his clients and find a path that works best for them in their current state and circumstances. He is just great to work with. Highly recommended.

I am so grateful for his guidance and tools to help me cope and thrive in and out of sessions. His style is very authentic and intuitive. He is truly an expert at what he does!

Christopher is a magnetic gifted authentic soul who truly cares as a therapist!! He listens, attuned, and knows how to be responsive to my needs in sessions. I absolutely feel no judgment from him and instead constant encouragement and accountability! I recommend him! Thanks Christopher !!

Written on Nov 25, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 7 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue

Chris has a wide range of experience and approaches each individual according to what they need. He leads with curiosity and brings his all to every session. If you’re at all hesitant about therapy, I highly recommend Chris. He could speak to my faith, offer tools to heal my trauma, and was even able support my fiancé through his own mental battles. (I liked Chris so much that I referred my fiancé and my fiancé started meeting with him too.) I cannot thank Chris enough!

Written on Nov 23, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, anger management, intimacy-related issues, addictions, and compassion fatigue

Christopher is a great listener, he let's me speak and makes me feel heard without feeling judged. He is fun to work with, and I look forward to our sessions as I talk about stuff I wouldn't say to anyone else. He's like a wise older brother typer of therapist and I like his approach of even difficult subjects.
I'd recommend Christopher to anyone who feels apprehensive about starting therapy, he will make it a good session.

Written on Nov 08, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues

Chris has been beyond amazing at keeping me on track, providing a safe space, and an open forum to get through all of the baggage/PTSD/trauma that I’ve been plagued with for years.

Chris has been the best therapeutic experience I’ve had as an adult.

Best of the best.

Christopher goes above and beyond what I could've hoped for in a therapist. He is such a wealth of information and has an arsenal of tools and resources to help with any issue I may be experiencing. I truly appreciated his reflections and helping me to see clearly. It's been an honor and pleasure working with Christopher. He's much more than a traditional therapist and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Written on Oct 21, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Chris has been an amazing partner during the last few months we've been meeting together. I think he strikes the perfect balance between giving me space to process and let him know where I'm at, and prompting me with helpful suggestions and resources. I'm relatively new to therapy in general and I think Chris has really helped get me to a point where I know what to expect and I feel like every session is a good use of my time.

Written on Jun 10, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 2 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

Christopher is an absolute legend. In just a few months he turned my life around. Where I'm at now is so much better than I'd even dreamed possible a few months ago. Christopher uses an amazing mix of techniques, both psychological and spiritual - some, for those not versed in esoterica, may seem strange or uncomfortable at first but give him the benefit of the doubt - his knowledge and skill is gold for the soul. Thanks so much for the help you've given me!

Written on May 08, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 2 weeks on issues concerning family conflicts, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and coaching

Written on Apr 20, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger management, and coping with life changes

Christopher is so relatable. He allows you to be genuine without restrictions. He hears you not just listens. The work sheets and “hw” he has provided such different outlooks on things that I feel most therapists just label you. He does not!

Written on Apr 08, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Written on Mar 14, 2021 after therapy with Christopher for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, compassion fatigue, and adhd

As a psychology student struggling with mental health, Christopher is able to communicate the mechanisms of his therapeutic approach using psychological concepts that I'm mostly familiar with, which allows me to connect the dots and believe in the process of my healing. Christopher is clearly passionate about his work and shares his excitment unapologetically. Beyond this, he is genuine and an active listener and this in turn helps to build trust and rapport.
