Through the world of therapy, I hope to bring more education and support to pregnant and postpartum people. My style of counseling is positive, person-centered and solution-focused. I believe that the most important part of perinatal mental health is prevention; entering into therapy prior to or during pregnancy is the most effective way to process birth and postpartum. I will provide a safe and soothing environment for all of my clients to work through their identified needs. I also have training in working with college-aged students and specifically athletes. I am licensed in both MA and CT.

I believe it is important to establish therapy for moms to be and received continued support through pregnancy and postpartum. I also work with moms who experienced miscarriages and infant loss. I am also able to support college students through early adulthood transitions, sports and relationships.

If you are in the beginning stages of planning for a family or you are postpartum, I am here to support you through these transitions. I also have extensive work with family systems so even older children and parenting support. Currently I am working on an athletic college campus so I am opening private practice to college students as well.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) prepared Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who earned my doctorate from Elms College. I have over 10 years of experience in mental health care and nearly 19 years in the nursing field. Throughout my career, I have worked in inpatient, outpatient and community settings. I have experience supporting an treating a wide range of individuals, from young adults to older adults and geriatric patients.

My path into this work didn’t come from one place—it came from a deep curiosity about what truly helps people change.

Early on, I was trained to support others through talk therapy, and I saw how powerful it could be to be witnessed, understood, and held in difficult moments. But over time, I began to notice that insight alone wasn’t always enough. People could understand their patterns, yet still feel stuck.

That led me to explore the body—how we carry emotion, how we hold tension, and how healing often requires more than words. Through movement, breath, and presence, I saw people begin to shift in ways that felt more real, more lasting.

And still, something felt incomplete.

There was a deeper layer—something connected to meaning, to transition, to the parts of us that don’t always have language. As I followed that thread, I found myself drawn to ceremonial and shamanic practices that honor the unseen and help give shape to profound inner change.

The Threshold Process grew out of this journey.

It’s the integration of everything I’ve come to trust: that real transformation happens when we engage the mind, the body, and the deeper parts of ourselves—within a space that is intentional, grounded, and safe.

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University. I’ve spent the past eight years working in child protection social work supporting teens and families, and earlier in my career I worked with adults living with severe and persistent mental illness through the Department of Mental Health.

I specialize in working with teenage boys and young men struggling with anxiety, ADHD, low motivation, school stress, emotional regulation, and conflict at home. Many parents reach out when their son seems stuck, withdrawn, or increasingly focused on gaming, vaping, or marijuana, and they’re not sure how to help without creating more tension.

I also work closely with teens and young men navigating the transition from high school into college, work, or greater independence—helping them build confidence, direction, and practical life skills during this important stage.

I focus first on building trust, especially with teens who may be unsure about therapy. Many of the teens I work with aren’t sure they want therapy at first, and part of my role is helping them feel comfortable enough to see that support can actually be useful and relevant to their lives. From there, I help them develop practical skills to manage stress, improve focus and motivation, and move forward with greater confidence.
