About Christopher
I’m a licensed therapist in California with nearly two decades of professional experience supporting people through loss, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, creative and career struggles, and the many thresholds of change that shape a meaningful life in what can be challenging circumstances.
My work is trauma-informed and deeply attuned to the unique ways each of us grows, adapts, and restores balance through a nervous-system–informed, embodied approach.
Healing begins when we rediscover ourselves as capable, resourceful beings. It takes trust and courage to see that the way forward is not only possible but perhaps already present beneath the surface. I’m here as a steady, thoughtful ally in that unfolding.
I offer a space that can be both safe and enlivening—an environment where thoughts, feelings, and inner experience can begin to find expression. My approach is grounded in a deep respect for conversation as a healing art, and I bring to it warmth, humor, and the sincerity born of my own ongoing journey.
Across decades of immersion in healing work—both personally and professionally—I bring a rich range of practical understandings and tools to support your journey toward greater clarity, balance, and fulfillment all in service of your goals and visions for your life.
Taking the step toward getting support for a more grounded and fulfilling life takes courage. I’m here to walk with you as you begin — or begin again.

What clients say
- “Really enjoying my conversations with Christopher. Finding a lot of trailheads for exploration.”
- “It's just so easy to talk to him. He's just so relatable, chill, down to earth, a real human vs feeling like i'm talking to a professional robot in the field although he does turn it on when necessary. For me that is how i've opened up. Thank you Chris.”
- “Chris is excellent. He has been a tremendous help in navigating my relationships and work life balance. 10/10 would recommend.”

- “He’s great. Therapy is a two way street it’s about being able to put in the work and finding a therapist that can meet you there. And as luck had it both of these conditions were met. I did the work and Christoper was there to guide me. Would recommend 10/10.”
- “Very happy with the experience. He relates very well, personal and very easy to talk to. A real human.”
- “I'm 74 and just started my sessions with Christopher to get clarity about my thoughts and feelings as I head into the last part of my life. I am amazed at how on the same page we are. He's a great listener but knows how to direct my awareness to relevant insights. He has a great sense of humor yet can be very focused and serious. I always look forward to our sessions.”
