I am licensed in Ohio with 24 years of professional work experience providing psychotherapy. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, caregivers of and those facing life threatening illness, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I use many treatment methods and approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy, or ACT, CBT, and DBT, and do so from a feminist/humanistic perspective. This means I believe that we can not ignore the impact our society and culture has had on us all and how it contributes to our distress, how we see ourselves, others and our world. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I started this process very uncomfortable with the aspect of therapy, talking about feelings etc. Chris made me feel so comfortable and I found myself just opening up to her. She has given me a lot of tools and recommendations to cope with my depression and anxiety which have help tremendously. Thank you Chris!
