Hi, I’m Chris.

I’m a psychotherapist and coach based in Encinitas, California. I write about meditation, mindfulness, neuroscience, therapy, and personal growth. I’m also a tea enthusiast, bibliophile, sci-fi/fantasy nerd, and a father, so some of those things may find their way into my writing at times, as well.

If you’re interested in starting therapy or coaching with me, or just want to know more about what I offer, check out my website. To get my latest insights delivered to your inbox, you can subscribe to my newsletter.

My CV in three bullet points:

• M.A. in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2014

• Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California since 2016

• 10 years of clinical experience, including serving as Clinical Director of a treatment center focused on complex trauma throughout the Covid-19 pandemic

Three unusual things I’m interested in right now:

• Effortless Mindfulness as taught by Loch Kelly

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy as developed by Richard Schwartz, PhD

• r/fantasy’s annual Book Bingo challenge
