Chris brings over 20 years experience working with people through a broad range of settings. He spent many years as a clinical chaplain working with oncology and hospice patients in the Seattle area. As a clinical psychotherapist, his specialty is in Process Addictions, primarily sex and porn addictions and working with those who have sustained Trauma and PTSD. Having trained with Dr. Patrick Carnes Ph.D. and his team, through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals, he understands the powerful correlation between trauma, anxiety and addiction. Chris is also trained in EMDR which can provide supportive resolution of traumatic memories, PTSD and help clients move on. He works with each client individually to develop a treatment plan to establish awareness, a sense of reality and a trusting community of support. Sobriety does not happen in isolation. Given his experience, Chris has lived through the chaos and pain active addiction brings, and as a result he deeply appreciates the serenity and balance that sobriety offers. He lives in Tacoma with his wife and their 2 dogs.
