Why people reach out
The crisis may be over. Its effects can remain.
Trauma and addiction can keep showing up as anxiety, irritability, depression, fear, flashbacks, hopelessness, or a constant feeling of being on edge.
Chris begins by building rapport and understanding what is happening now. From there, the work may include practical tools, EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, 12-Step principles, and a treatment plan shaped around your goals.
About Chris
He has had to rebuild, too.
Chris is a Christian, a father of three sons, and a man who is sober from alcohol. His own path has included seasons of change, humility, and rebuilding.
That lived experience shapes the conversation. Chris listens carefully, speaks plainly, asks direct questions, and helps clients take an honest look at what is working and what needs to change.
Faith can be part of therapy when it matters to the client. Chris welcomes people of every faith and people who do not practice a faith.
EMDR therapy
When the past keeps showing up in the present.
EMDR is a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process distressing experiences. Preparation comes first. Chris helps clients build coping skills and stability before deeper work begins.

The approach
Principles Chris returns to.
Ideas matter when they change what you do next.
Change the Mean
Your past contributes to the pattern. The choices you make now can shift the average and change where the pattern leads.
We receive the energy we give
How you show up shapes what comes back. Honesty, responsibility, service, gratitude, and steady effort create different conditions for life.
