About Chris
Chris uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes respect and collaboration. He builds each counseling plan around what matters to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and build skills that fit everyday life.
He draws on a range of methods to match individual needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and principles from the Gottman Method. Interventions are chosen to address symptoms, patterns, and relationship dynamics in concrete ways.
Over two decades of practice have included work in Texas and other states. That breadth of experience has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different backgrounds and challenges. Clients can expect clear goals, measurable steps, and attention to strengths as well as difficulties.
People who contact Chris typically want focused help with stress, mood problems, trauma, or relationship strains. He aims to make the first steps straightforward: gather information, set priorities, and agree on a plan that can be adjusted as progress is made.
