Hi, I'm Chris! 

 

I view therapy as a sacred experience that can help you connect with your highest self and develop your path to healing and growth. Traditional psychology tends to work on solely healing the self, whereas spirituality is more concerned with transcending the self. I believe both are important on the journey toward wellness and fulfillment in life.

I often incorporate mindfulness interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), meditation, and body awareness techniques. Another unique tool I find useful is the Enneagram personality system. Once we determine your "type", we can use this system in therapy to help you develop greater self-awareness and a structure for psycho-spiritual transformation.

 

Personally, I strive to live by my highest values and consider myself a mindfulness practitioner, LGBTQIA+ ally, advocate for social justice, and eco-sustainability enthusiast.
