Background and approach

Christopher has seven years as a licensed counselor and an overall 12 years working in mental health. That experience includes helping people with severe trauma and abuse, and with grief and loss after life changes. He also supports people facing chronic pain or illness, body image concerns, and challenges with guilt, shame, or isolation.

In practice he draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to address painful memories, personal stories, and inner parts that influence behavior. He blends these methods rather than relying on a single technique. This helps him tailor work to what matters to each person.

Christopher invites people to be active in their care and to try practical tools between sessions. He guides goal setting and tracks progress so improvements are clear. Getting started is presented as a straightforward step rather than a big leap.

Online support

EMDR, Narrative Work, and Online Options

EMDR is a process some people use to reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories. It combines focused attention on memory with guided bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic material and reduce distress. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from their problem and rewrite limiting narratives that keep them stuck.

Christopher approaches choice of method as a collaboration. He listens to a person's goals, history, and current needs, then suggests approaches that could fit. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques to try and adapt over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or need quick, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel without losing continuity of care.
