Individual & Couples Therapist and Energy Healer

Chris has been professional counselor for over twenty years working in community mental health agencies, youth agencies, drug and alcohol rehab clinics, schools and in private practice. His focus has been working to reduce mental and emotional stress and trauma within individuals and in relationships.

What makes Chris's approach unique is that besides the traditional therapeutic approaches such as counseling/ psychotherapy and couple/family therapy, he also is able to  include Energy Healing and meditation if the individual coming in desires to select those options.

Energy Healing has been practiced since ancient times in China and both east and west Asia. It allows the practitioner to remove accumulated stress and trauma from the physical body. This stress and trauma is the cause of most emotional and physical suffering.

The energy healing process involves no touching and is easy and restful for the client. Once the stress and trauma are removed, the person usually feels more relaxed as well as mentally and emotionally grounded and balanced. He or she develops a greater ability to experience a more positive outlook on life and have increased energy to achieve life's goals.

Energy Healing can also be applied to relationships. When we interact with one another we are creating a subtle energy connection that is strengthened as the relationship proceeds. When situations make us angry or stressed with the other person, we project stress through these energy connections.

If the stress is not resolved, it starts to build up and block smooth interactions and communication.

Energy healing can clean and open these subtle energy connections. This allows for improved communication.

After an energy session we start to feel less stressed and more open. The other person may hear and understand us better and be less defensive and negative towards our ideas.

Energy healing allows the individual to let go of past emotional stress and trauma very quickly. It is designed for those that are looking for a powerful natural way to improve their lives.

Traditional therapy was the product of the 20th century. Energy Therapy, either integrated with traditional therapy or applied alone, is the future of creating wellness in the 21st century.

It allows us to accomplish so much more in a session and is easy for everyone involved.

Chris invites those of you who are ready for strong, positive changes in your life to contact him for a therapy/healing session.

You will be surprised how simple growth can be.

Note: Long distance energy sessions are as powerful as in- person sessions.

Clients have the options of in-person sessions for traditional therapy and/or energy healing, or long distance sessions using only energy healing.

Energy Healing is the application of Universal Life Force Energy to an individual to create positive change.

Energy Healing has its origins in Asia.  Ancient Chinese Medicine practitioners discovered that each of us is maintained  by subtle life reinforcing energies that are found in the food and air called  chi or ki .

They found that our bodies have a system of energy pathways or meridians that deliver this life energy to each organ, muscle, gland, etc. to maintain life.

When the energy flow through the meridians is full and in balance our bodies are healthy, our thinking is rational, flexible and creative and our emotional responses are appropriate for our experiences.

The Full Flow Of Energy Through Our Bodies = Mental, Emotional & Physical Health

They also discovered that many humans have the habit of holding onto strong negative emotional stress (fear, anger, trauma) long after the  causal event. This emotional stress starts to build up in certain  areas such as:

fear in the  kidneys, anger in the liver, and grief in the lungs.

This blocks the healthy flow of energy throughout our bodies

through the meridians.

Blocked Energy Flow = Imbalanced Emotions & Thoughts

The results of this buildup of emotional stress in our meridians & internal organs makes it easier for life situations to trigger the release of this mountain of emotions. 

This distorts our perception of situations and adds stress to interpersonal interactions. With time, our stress and negative emotions may grow until we experience full blown  mental illness.

Energy Healing provides a way to both release pent-up emotional stress and balance the emotions.

The energy healer first attunes himself with the Universal Life Force and then sends this energy to the area of the person's body where  there is a buildup of emotional stress.. The Universal Life Force  works in conjunction with the person's own life energy to “clean house” and remove the stagnated energy.

The results are that the person starts to feel more relaxed and balanced mentally and emotionally.

The person who is “cleared and healed” finds it easier to deal with stressful life situations without overreacting and finds that relationships go smoother.
