(Ages 25+, rare exceptions)

Through a variety of integrative, energetic, transpersonal depth therapy & multidimensonal approaches, practical wisdom and humor, I help awakening souls discover all parts of Self, heal and release what doesn’t serve, bring light to darkness, and embody greater wholeness, purpose, vitality, authenticity & awakened empowerment.

ARE YOU…

• Confused about why things aren’t aligning or improving for you despite traditional counseling, spiritual coaching, best intentions, affirmations, positive thinking, yoga, prayers or spiritual practices?

• Seeing yourself as unlovable, unworthy, inadequate, too much or not enough, too ‘weird’ or ‘different?’

• Feeling disconnected from your Self, from truth, purpose, or like something’s missing​ or blocking you?

• Afraid you’ll never find your ‘tribe,’ get to do what really lights you up, or evolve on your Hero’s Journey?

• Anxious about a life situation, major transition, or deep in the ‘liminal’ spaces and feeling lost?

• In a ‘dark night of the soul’,’ in spiritual free-fall, psychic crisis, or experiencing a sudden loss or acceleration of faith? Feeling forsaken by God/Source/Creator, or reeling from a mystical/near-death experience or other non-ordinary/anomalous, potentially transformative experience?

• Losing your religion, deconstructing from oppressive dogma, recovering from a high-control religious environment, cult ideology, or spiritual abuse?

• Questioning ‘consensus reality,’ becoming ‘red-pilled,’ unsure if you’re going mad or awakening (awake not woke), connecting to higher intuitive faculties, piercing the veil, or in a rabbit hole and need a rope?

• Stressed about the hyper-polarized political climate? The rise of Technocracy, Transhumanism, A.I., the Digital Surveillance/Biomedical Security State, the Censorship Industrial Complex and the post-2020, post-truth Brave New Orwellian 🤡 World?

• Exploring psychedelics/entheogenic plant medicines and need discernment, prep work or integration assistance? Unsure if your psychedelic quest is fully grounded, aligned and in integrity?

• A rebel with a cause, a spiritual seeker, gnosis explorer, mystery school student, lightworker, medium, empath, healer or aspiring one feeling too porous (unboundaried), ungrounded, blocked, drained, or easily triggered? Realizing unhealed pain from the past is preventing you from showing up authentically, finding & using your voice, and bringing your gift to the world?

• A new or aspiring holistically-minded therapist, coach or other human service professional seeking deep inner work, direct spiritual connection, and/or guidance? Or an experienced one burned out on conventional methods or the tyranny of the biomedicalpharmaceutical industrial complex, and need a new way forward but don’t know how, or fear how you’ll be viewed?

First, know this:

You’re not ‘broken’ or ‘abnormal’

👉 The system is broken, not you.

There’s an infinitely whole, undamaged essence within everyone. An eternal ‘Divine Spark.’ (“The Kingdom of God is Within You”). No matter what you’ve experienced, your essential wholeness—your time-transcendent spiritual core—remains intact. Like when the storm ends and clouds part, the sun is always there, undisturbed. That sun is WHO YOU ARE. But to gain and sustain access to this larger SELF IN YOU, vulnerable ‘parts’ of us may need compassionate witnessing. And healing of the burdens they’ve carried for us (shame, grief, anxiety, ancestral pain, etc). Just as protective parts need recognition and relief from the extreme roles they’ve played to keep us safe. All parts of us are well-intentioned sacred fractals of the whole of who we are, awaiting the healing presence and power of our eternal presence, and re-integration with the Larger Self.

And…abnormal? By what measure? Who decides? Normality is illusion! Code for cultural conformity and self-betrayal. I can only help you embrace who you truly are, your purpose for being, and what your soul wants to bring into the world through you.

You don’t have a mental ‘disorder’

👉 Suffering is real. But…

Mental and emotional distress, depression, anxiety, extreme psychological states/psychotic episodes, trauma-induced destabilization, insidious but influential ancestral epigenetic (inherited) patterns, attachment wounds, relational dysfunction, as well as mystical experiences, non-ordinary realities, altered states of consciousness—all real. But are these illnesses? Disorders? Pathologies? Conceptualizations like these come out of the biomedicalpharmaceutical disease model. One founded upon a rational materialist-based, archaic ‘chemical imbalance’ theory. Unlike research/science-based medical diagnosis, psychiatric labels are subjective, unreliable, trauma un-informed, and devised through a conflict of interest-laden voting process, not empirical science. (Voting isn’t science). These labels are based on the unvetted assumptions, ideological biases, personal beliefs and opinions of a small homogenous task force lacking oversight [100% of whom have financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. Source: PubMed]. Fortunately, there are more accurate, non-pathologizing, comprehensive ways of understanding the painful effects of overwhelming life experiences. Only through such compassionate and uncorrupted lenses can actual healing occur. Within spaces of mind-body-spirit awareness, safety, trust-based connection and acceptance, far beyond the false constructs of disempowering labels perpetuated by corrupted institutions and a culturally-generated stigma of mental illness.

There’s nothing to ‘fix,’ ‘cure,’ or ‘get rid of’

👉 ‘The cure for pain is in the pain’

People can’t be reduced to symptoms, behavior, thought patterns, genetics, neurotransmitter deficiencies, or trauma. Mental health and well-being exists on a continuum reflecting our overall functioning within multiple domains of culture-bound experience. Yes, culture. The very concept of psychological illness is a product of socially constructed culture and consensus. Culture (i.e. consensus reality) dictates how we ‘should’ feel, think & act by programming us to believe that human experience is objective. In reality, it’s anything but! And while there’s an appropriate time and use for crisis-based intervention with medication and/or other acute measures, in the long term, human suffering is not something to be bypassed, rationalized, suppressed, pathologized, or tranquilized. It’s a growth process to be honored, embraced, integrated, transformed into wisdom and life force. In the presence of safety, trust and genuine caring, we move into secure attachment. And with openness to true spiritual connection, therein lies the power and potential to heal and transcend wounding, awaken, and reconnect to our Self, our Soul, the Divine, and one another. Ultimately, all healing is spiritual healing.

what you are is a unique, complex and evolving multidimensional soul. a wellspring of RESILIENCE, RESOURCEFULNESS, creativity, love, and EMBODIED AWARENESS. god CONSCIOUSNESS in action!

The question is:

What’s in the way?

(‘What’s in the way is the way’)

whether you want to:

-Access the infinite, undamaged healing essence within and heal your wounded parts (‘inner children’) with love & compassion

-Help your body release the need to symptomatically and somatically express emotional pain

-Construct and maintain healthy boundaries (‘strong back’) without sacrificing compassion (‘soft front’)

-Make peace with your past and start living in the ‘future-present’

-Transmute inherited, familial and/or cultural learned helplessness/victim consciousness patterns

-Transform suffering into wisdom and passion-driven, purposeful action/service/work

-Recover from betrayal, breakup or divorce and/or become the healthy partner you desire to attract

-Move from codependence/insecure attachment to healthy interdependence/secure attachment

-Become a more conscious and connected ‘Self-Led’ parent, stepparent or co-parent

-Transcend outdated beliefs around love/lovability, self-worth, money, etc

-Dissolve creative and other subconscious blocks at their energetic roots

-Awaken intuition, deepen embodiment, and expand your consciousness

-Shift from a scarcity-based/survival mode to an abundance-based/thriving consciousness

-Deconstruct and heal from oppressive/abusive religious or cult ideology and discover a more expansive worldview, dogma-free theology without borders / authentic spirituality without walls

-Access and integrate fragmented memories, somatic or other indicators of high strangeness, ‘experiencer’ / anomalous trauma

-Regain stability after an involuntary/destabilizing extreme non-ordinary state of consciousness (NOSC) episode

-Prepare for and integrate a psychedelic/sacred plant medicine or microsdosing journey from a Transpersonal-IFS-informed perspective

-Navigate a non-ordinary/mystical experience, spiritual awakening or other transformative experience

-Identify and heal generational wounds, past life and ancestral & cultural burdens and patterns

-Experience Divinely-assisted ‘compassionate extraction’ of parasitic foreign energies/entities in the mind-body-spirit system when confirmed to be present

-Transform tendencies toward spiritual escapism/bypassing in any of its myriad forms

- Invite the ‘I AM Presence,’ Supreme Beings, Holy/Christed Ones, Ascended Masters, Archangels, guides, guardian angels, and ‘healed and well’ ancestors directly into your therapeutic-healing journey

Open up to genuine mystical experience led by one or more emissaries of The Divine within The Christos/Sophia-Marian spectrum of pure light, love, and God consciousness, i.e. Supreme Beings, Holy/Christed Ones, Ascended Masters, Archangels, positive polarity Galactic Star Family/Soul Family guides and members, personal spirit guides, guardian angels and ancestors

- Safely experience co-facilitated After Death Contact (ADC) with dearly departed crossed-over loved ones, ancestors

It’s all possible!

But not in isolation. No one heals in a vacuum. And to unlock your highest potential—to heal, to grow, create and sustain anything true, body-mind-spirit must be aligned, and all parts working in harmony with your Larger Self.

It would be my honor to assist *YOU with this!

“Brilliant, innovative, compassionate, professional and devoted to his craft, Chris is one of the greats in the Nashville area. Highly recommend him without reservation.”

-Bedford M. Combs, LMFT, Heartstream Journeys, Franklin, TN

“I have been in and out or counseling for the last 12 years to resolve complex trauma from my childhood and without a doubt, Chris has been the most helpful and effective therapist of the several I have worked with. Chris’ skilled use of Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques has helped me release the pain of traumas I thought I would carry the rest of my life. This has not only impacted my emotional health, but my physical health as well. I’ve lived with chronic illness and the work we have done has significantly helped reduce my pain and anxiety! Now when I go through a painful flare, I’m able to remain calm instead of being wracked with anxiety and panic attacks, which in the past would heighten the pain. Working with Chris has hands down been the best investment I’ve ever made in myself. I am not exaggerating when I say that our work together has genuinely changed the course of my life. If you’re considering working with him, get his waitlist becuse it’s worth the wait.”

M.R., Nashville, TN

“Chris has changed my life. I’ve had other therapists over the years, but none have helped me work through trauma the way he has. His approach is thoughtful and insightful, and he creates a safe environment to go deep, uncover and work through everything. In just handful of sessions Chris has impacted my life and helped me unblock in ways I never thought possible!”

J.B., Franklin, TN
