Our little family is so happy (and tired, but mostly happy) and I feel like that happiness is, in no small part, thanks to you and the work I did in therapy with you. I had so much anxiety...I was going through, and being able to talk about it and develop skills to deal with it helped so much. These things have been so crucial in helping me get through the really tough moments and I’m forever grateful to you for giving me those tools. Thank you so much for your help, it was such a pleasure to work with you.

...you have been the absolute BEST therapist I’ve ever had, and I have had quite a few over the past 25 years. Seriously, you make such a positive difference in my outlook on life and have helped me immeasurably and I genuinely appreciate you.

Chris is excellent at making someone feel welcomed into his practice! He is very soft spoken and personable. He works diligently to create a trusting, professional relationship. He also ensures that you have a say in how your care should go, so that you get the most out of your time. I highly recommend making an appointment with him if you are going through any mental health issues that are keeping you down.
