With a background that includes two decades in high-stakes leadership roles—including time as a tech executive and even an astronaut instructor at NASA—Chris brings a unique perspective to the therapy room. Grounded, calm, and deeply thoughtful, he shares how his career pivot into mental health work came to be, the values that shape his approach, and how he supports clients navigating overwhelm, burnout, or life transitions. If you’re curious about therapy or the people behind the practice, this episode offers a warm and insightful look at what it means to meet change with curiosity and care.
