Hi, I'm Chris! 

 

I have over 15 years of experience in the field of psychology, with nearly 10 of those as a licensed psychologist. I've worked in community mental health and substance abuse centers, a holistic retreat center, and an organization providing therapy and psychological testing before starting my private practice in 2020. 

I have been a long-time meditator and often incorporate mindfulness interventions when appropriate in my sessions. This could include mindfulness practices, exploring meditation, as well as other somatic/body-awareness techniques. I also lean on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model, which uses mindfulness skills in conjunction with your values to define and work to accomplish, meaningful goals for your personal development.

 

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