About Dr. CHRIS
Personal Information
My purpose in life has been to help people to change and accomplish their goals and desires. I love helping people to be more, do more, and have more in life. I began working in Behavioral Health when I left the Army as a young man and never turned back.
In my opinion, people have a current reality which is everything that they do, how they feel and what they have on a daily basis. Most people also have a preferred reality. This is how they would like to feel, the kind of relationships they would prefer to have, the type of place they would like to live, etc. What is your preferred reality?
I view the therapeutic process as filling the gap to help you move from your current situation to your preferred situation. It is my pleasure to help people to get there in a way that is more efficient and less painful.
I am licensed to practice psychology in my native Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Florida where I now live and love the ocean. Thus, I am able to work with people in those states and some places internationally. My family and I have lived elsewhere due to my work, but we have decided coastal Florida is where we have made our long-term home.
When I'm not providing therapy services, I'm writing (I have 3 books on Amazon), enjoying time with friends and family, and keeping fit.
