North St. Louis-bred, St. Louis University-educated, and life-credentialed, Chris brings more than 20 years experience to the field of mental health. Chris utilizes mindfulness, community-based interventions, trauma-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy through clinical social-work practice. Chris takes his educational background, his professional skills and his first-hand experiences associated with the struggles grounded in limited resources and its associated traumas, to create a therapeutic process that supports openness, safe-space, empowerment, and growth.

Chris recognizes that engaging in therapy is a big step, so he takes a supportive approach when assisting the journey to healing. Chris knows that everyone’s narrative is different, therefore, therapy is individualized to support the needs of the individual. Whether facing anxiety, addiction, trust issues, self-doubt, anger management, depression, substance use and abuse, relationship challenges, domestic violence issues or other concerns that challenge mental health, therapy is catered to you. Chris also knows that a need for mental health is not always associated with a particular diagnosis, that sometimes people simply need a safe space to sort out their thoughts free of bias, judgment, embarrassment and humiliation.
