Chris works with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to individual needs.

Another emphasis is trauma-informed work that helps individuals process painful experiences, build coping strategies, and restore a sense of safety and agency. He also integrates skills-based coaching to support improvements in self-esteem, confidence, and practical goal-setting.Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Chris approaches this collaboratively, exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and adjusting the plan together to find what feels most helpful.
