I work with variety of clients, but most of my clients come to me for help with relationship issues -- significant other, friend, family and work relationships. College students often come to me with issues related to roommates, gaining independence from parents, anxiety related to overwhelming school work, career choices and figuring out who they are. College years can be an amazing time of growth and opportunity, but they can also be incredibly stressful. I love to help college students naviga...

For most people, there comes a time when life’s stressors become too great for the individual to manage on their own. Unhealthy thought patterns and coping behaviors can add to this stress and even isolate the person from their usual support system. Those that seek assistance through therapy may find that they are able to learn new ways of coping with stress. Or, they may learn to view situations through a different perspective. The intervention or change for each person varies based on that ind...
I use a solution-oriented approach, forming a partnership with my clients in which we identify goals and develop a plan for achieving them. I view myself as your employee, and my job as a privilege: I am honored when each unique human being decides to share his or her story with me. I am an MSU alum, and the son and father of MSU alums. I know the MSU community and its unique characteristics. I am happy to integrate my Christian beliefs with proven clinical methods for clients who wish such...
One of my passions about my role as a therapist is to normalize therapy, why else would I do this! I think that this is something that my clients can bring away from their sessions. (Que cliche sunshine and rainbows that can be very real when you choose therapy, a very big and hard step). Everyone needs a little support every now and then, but sometimes, events happen that make you feel like you need a little more support, or college feels a little more overwhelming that you expected. I get ...
You feel the pressure to look like you have it “all together,” but inside you are struggling to feel confident in yourself and your relationships. Struggling with FOMO, feeling like a fraud or a fake, the pressure of social media and saving face … this stage of life has so many challenges. It might be hard to even remember what life was like before you felt this way, but you know there’s hope. You know these problems don’t have to be permanent—you just need some help getting out of your own way....
As a therapist, I pride myself in the confidentiality and the general skills I can offer you like any other therapist. However, what you can expect with my practice goes beyond the standard therapeutic experience. My practice is person-centered and non-judgmental across several subjects, domains, circumstances, and themes. I also pride myself in being multi-dimensional in identity politics; I am Trans-Affirmative, LGBTQ+ Affirmative, Sex-positive, Body positive, Kink-positive, and more. I approa...
From birth to present, every individual has a unique story. Some parts of that story will be remembered fondly, and other parts may feel difficult, scary, or overwhelming. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel comfortable sharing their narratives and working towards a greater sense of hope and understanding. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am skilled to help you sort through the obstac...

My approach begins with the understanding that connecting with one’s self and others is a pathway toward finding meaning and fulfillment. This pathway of connecting can become blocked by old emotional wounds or current relationship struggles. The partnership formed in the therapy relationship becomes the platform where healing broken connections may occur. This approach can help bring about lasting change by getting at the ‘root’ of the problem and bring relief from symptoms. Central to Chris’ a...
Fortitude: “strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain and adversity with courage.” This courage is something we all carry, but oftentimes the weight of the challenges we face can be too much to carry alone. I believe in the power of having teammates that we can call on for support- people who can help empower us to put one foot in front of the other. I strive to be a great teammate. I am passionate about empowering others, and I am intentional in my learning and ...
