About Christopher
He draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help identify thoughts and behaviors that make things harder. He pairs that with solution-focused work to set small, clear goals and track progress. Sessions are aimed at finding what works for each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Christopher helps people tackle a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy issues, workplace stress, and midlife crisis. He also addresses topics like aging and caregiver stress, codependency, life purpose, and money worries. His approach centers on strengths people already have and practical steps to use them.
In the room he listens, reflects, and offers straightforward tools you can try between sessions. He wants to make change manageable by breaking larger problems into workable pieces. That can include changing unhelpful thoughts, shifting behaviors, and setting short-term goals.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and Christopher aims to make that step less overwhelming. He supports clients as they try new strategies, adjust goals, and build more satisfying routines and relationships.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between commitments.
