At our practice, we believe in respect for diversity and autonomy. What this means is that we aspire to know and remain aware of our biases, preferences, and ideals. We believe in honoring your unique perspectives, as respect forms the foundation of our therapeutic relationship, allowing clients to feel heard, valued, and safe.
We value the importance of supporting clients in making their own informed decisions. We empower individuals to explore their struggles and exercise agency in the therapeutic process. This ensures you to feel confident and capable of navigating your own path.
We view therapy as a partnership. By working together in collaboration with you, we create a safe space for honesty, shared goals, and mutual understanding to foster your growth and progress. Collaboration ensures that the therapy process is tailored to your individual needs.
Our team is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to you, and we continually seek to grow in our understanding of best practices. Our therapists draw on their knowledge, skills, and experience to offer effective, evidence-based care, ensuring that each client receives the best possible support on their journey to healing.
At our practice, we believe in creating a space where every individual feels accepted and valued, regardless of their background or experiences. We are committed to fostering an environment of non-judgment, where clients can explore their behaviors, thoughts and emotions openly. Our goal is to help de-stigmatize the process of seeking therapy, so that more people feel empowered to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being. We encourage growth, healing, and transformation by supporting each person’s unique journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Individual therapy is designed to help reduce the impact of distressing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We begin with an initial assessment to understand your goals, strengths, and any barriers you may be facing. From there, we take a biopsychosocial approach and draw from various approaches - such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and others - to create a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
The process of couples therapy begins with an assessment conducted both together as a couple and individually, allowing us to develop clear, specific treatment goals. The overall aim of therapy is to identify the relational patterns that maintain your concerns and to help you restructure those patterns in ways that support a healthier, more sustainable relationship. This approach is informed by the work of Sue Johnson and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), as well as the Gottman Method developed by John Gottman and Julie Gottman.
Family therapy aims to help families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. It provides a safe space for family members to express their concerns, gain a deeper understanding of one another, and work together to overcome challenges. Whether addressing issues such as parenting, blended family dynamics, or unresolved conflicts, family therapy fosters healthier interactions and promotes overall family well-being.
Teletherapy is psychotherapy or counseling provided via audio or video connection through a HIPAA compliant internet platform. Therapy is essentially the same as you would receive in office. As with other services, there are benefits and risks in using this modality.
Since 2001, Chris has been an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. He offers clinical supervision to help you with fulfilling requirements for state licensure, continuing education or consultation. Supervision is provided in accordance with COAMFTE and CACREP standards and other regulating bodies.
Group therapy is a therapeutic approach where individuals meet with a trained therapist in a supportive group setting to address shared concerns or challenges. It allows participants to connect with others who are facing similar issues, providing a sense of community and mutual support. While we do not currently have any groups in session, we are planning to introduce them in the future. If you're interested or would like more information, please feel free to inquire or share your interest with us.
We are passionate about this work and helping people make changes that matter.
