Get to Know Chris

Therapist | LCSW

My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic — I believe that mind, body and the social environment are inextricably linked, and aim to work collaboratively to cultivate a safe and compassionate space for emotional expression and self-exploration. My focus is primarily psychodynamic, gently guiding the process of introspection into current and past relationships / family dynamics, supplemented with techniques from CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy.

My Professional Background

I’ve worked in this field for 7 years with a wide range of patients across all demographics, ranging from psychoanalytic clinics, community-based social work agencies and substance abuse recovery facilities. I’ve worked extensively with trauma, dissociation, anxiety and depression, and have aided many people in their journey toward recovery and wellbeing.

Education, Training, and Certifications

    • MSW from New York University
    • B.A. in English Literature and Philosophy from Colgate University
    • Current psychoanalytic training candidate at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies

Fun Facts
