I have known Christopher for many years, even before he got his counseling degree. He has always amazed me at how naturally he befriended people and went out of his way to help or encourage anyone. He is my first call when the ____ hits the fan. He can handle it. He doesn't shy away from a problem but listens with compassion and helps me see things clearly. I have recommended him to people and would do it again. He has been a God-send to me. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I think what I love most is when the "light bulb comes on" for clients. When they see their circumstances in a new light or when they have a realization that forever changes their outlook and outcomes for their life. It is truly rewarding to help people.

Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is counseling focused on the individual's immediate or near future concerns. It is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained counselor /therapist—in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
Pre-Marital Counseling
Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for marriage. Premarital counseling can help ensure that you and your partner have a strong, healthy relationship — giving you a better chance for a stable and satisfying marriage. This kind of counseling can also help you identify weaknesses that could become problems during marriage. Premarital counseling helps partners improve their ability to communicate, set realistic expectations for marriage and develop conflict-resolution skills. In addition, premarital counseling can help couples establish a positive attitude about seeking help down the road.
Marriage Counseling
Marriage counseling helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through marriage counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or going your separate ways. Some couples seek marriage counseling to strengthen their partnership and gain a better understanding of each other.
Family Counseling
Family Counseling is a type of psychological counseling that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. Family counseling can teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you're done going to counseling. Family counseling can help you improve troubled relationships with your partner, children or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family.
