I, Chris (he/him), grew up in Green Bay and have since moved to western Wisconsin. My therapeutic orientation is integrative from various modalities- Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Internal Family Systems, Feminist, Sex Therapy (Kink/BDSM positive), and many more to fit the needs of my clients. I am passionate about working with all relationship styles (i.e. consensual non-monogamous, monogamous) through their relationship dynamics. I received my MFT master's degree from Capella University in 2023.Therapy is working collaboratively to help you establish the goals for the change you desire. I also enjoy working with families and individuals as well. I believe in being honest and creating a safe space for all who come to see me. I also enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ community as well as being an advocate within this community. I have experience writing letters of recommendation for gender-affirming care/surgery and navigating through the socio-political-systemic issues that arise in these areas. I am neurodivergent (ADHD) and enjoy psychoeducation and navigating relationships where one or many people are neurodivergent. With that being said, I am currently getting certified to be an ADHD Clinical Service Provider. I am pursuing my doctorate in marriage and family therapy specializing in couples therapy through National University. In my free time, I enjoy camping, playing volleyball, trying new hobbies, spending time with my family and two dogs, and volunteering with WAMFT.
