Chris is very caring and compassionate. He has provided great support during my therapies." "I've seen about 5 therapists before finding Christopher. He is by far the best I have seen. He has helped me to understand the root cause of my reactions and help to try and manage them. He is an excellent listener but also helps me to focus on what the real issue is when I tend to muddle it up into a cloud of chaos. One thing I have liked about speaking with Chris is that he's the first therapist I have seen that was also vulnerable to me, he doesn't feel like he is just doing his job he feels like he wants to be there every week to talk with me and help me feel better.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I have over a decade of treatment experience, working with folks from all walks of life in outpatient, residential, in-home, school, and military environments. These days, I bring my breadth of experience to one-on-one practice to focus on in order to dive deep into productive, meaningful work.

He is a phenomenal therapist. Rula made it easy to choose a therapist, with everyone listing their specialties and statements. I felt like he was a good choice for me and what I'm going through based on his bio and his approach. During our intake appointment, I knew that he was who I wanted as a therapist because I felt comfortable with him. I liked his approach on how he does therapy and how he was open to feedback as well, so he could tailor our sessions to meet my needs. As an avoidant, I need someone who can call me out on my bluff and get me to talk about uncomfortable things, and he does just that, but in a kind, gentle way. I feel safe enough to express emotions to him, cry, and work through what I'm going through. He is a great therapist that provides a safe environment. I've already been able to work on my issues with him and am seeing improvement in my life.

We all seek connection, a sense of belonging, and also we seek to have a sense of purpose and value. When we find ourselves in relationships where we feel a lack of connection or a sense of being undervalued by our partner we tend to lose vitality and/or security. Let us work together to rediscover who we are meant to be.

In my experience, most people have a much higher threshold for difficult truths than they give themselves credit for. I'd gently state that I'm more interested in what you're capable of as opposed to what feels comfortable to discuss.
