02 · In Christopher's own words

What Christopher says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in New Mexico, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and overcome challenges related to social anxiety, isolation, and personal growth.

I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to addressing life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal development. My expertise includes supporting individuals through career difficulties, attachment challenges, mood fluctuations, and experiences of stress or trauma.

My therapeutic work focuses on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner experiences, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful connections. I'm committed to helping individuals develop self-love, work through feelings of guilt and shame, and discover their life's purpose.

Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, social anxiety, body image concerns, or seeking guidance through significant life changes like divorce, I offer a collaborative and empathetic approach to healing and personal transformation.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Christopher practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Christopher's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

  1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

    BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Christopher at this point.

  2. Naming Christopher specifically

    BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Christopher is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Christopher.

  3. If the caseload is full

    You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

  4. The first conversation

    A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

  5. If the fit is wrong

    Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Christopher

Built from what Christopher actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Christopher's - Christopher has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

  • “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

    Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

  • “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

    On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Christopher's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Christopher. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
