Hi there, I'm Christopher!

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Men are far too often portrayed only for their physical strength. My mission as a therapist is to restore men to a more full sense of strength by having skill and mastery of their inner world of character, thoughts, emotions, and healthy relationships.

My focus

As a male therapist, I am especially interested in developing the ability of men to understand the strength they have in noticing and feeling their emotions with calm composure, and responding to them with action that is both peaceful and powerful. Especially if men have been wounded along the way, this emotional process can be hard to navigate.

My approach

My approach to treatment is to demonstrate your value and dignity by listening well, holding truths that may be hard for you to hold, finding key insights into patterns that may be holding you back, and guiding you through mechanisms of change (e.g., skill acquisition, thought moderation, corrective emotional experience, trauma healing, etc.).
