Chris and her husband, Burt, are parents to twelve children and they have twenty-two grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Chris is a biological mother, an adoptive mother, a stepmother and a foster mother. She brings both education and a personal perspective into the therapy session. Chris strongly believes in the systems theory and in the power of GOD working in a person's life. It is her desire to help others during their journeys. Chris specializes in working with families for pre/post-adoption counseling for adoption adjustments, trauma, attachment-related issues and helping families cope with FASD/FAE and other family-related adjustments.
