Vision for Counseling
Chris is energized by walking with people through the process of change and growth. He builds relationships with those he works with so as to better lead them as they address the parts of their lives that need attention. Chris’ focus in counseling isn’t so much “Where have you been?” as much as it is, “Where do you want to go?” Having been on this journey himself, he knows how to lead people where they want to go, helping them to be motivated to do the work necessary to go with him.

Client Recommendations
“After 10 years of marriage, we found ourselves at a crossroad. Our marriage had suffered a terrible tragedy due to infidelity as well as lack of care and attention. Because of Chris’ Christian convictions, years of experience, and professionalism, Chris was an obvious choice for us as we sought help. We previously attended his anger seminar at our church in addition to other speaking engagements. In these venues, we observed those things which make Chris a great counselor. He guided us from a point where divorce was imminent to a place where we are fully committed to restoring the marriage. He provided a loving, caring, and humorous (when appropriate) atmosphere, allowing our marriage to begin to heal and thrive. Chris gave us the tools necessary to improve our communication skills as well as identifying and changing problem areas in our marriage. He also helped us learn more about ourselves as a couple and as individuals. Today, our marriage is more of a God-honoring marriage and is so much richer than we could have ever imagined.” — JTB
