Hello! Call me Chris.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a therapist certified with the Unified Protocol Institute, in which we utilize an empirically supported “state of the science” approach to doing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in with my work -this approach also has tremendous empirical support. Therapy will always be carefully individualized specifically for you and your needs.

My doctoral degree is in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arizona (UA) and involved comprehensive training and course-work in assessment, therapy, teaching, and clinical research. I completed my clinical internship at the Southern Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System. Throughout and following my broad training, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples with a wide range of concerns in many settings, including medical clinics, inpatient hospitals, vocational/educational programs, prison, and group homes.

In addition, as a former Adjunct Professor at the University of Arizona (and before that as a Graduate Student Instructor), I have taught a number of psychology courses including Clinical Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Human Sexuality, Child Abuse and Neglect, Personality Psychology, and Introductory Psychology.

Additionally, I hold membership with the Southern Arizona Psychological Association, Arizona Psychological Association, and the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapists.

I am licensed by the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners (License # PSY-004542). 

I moved to Tucson forever ago for college and immediately fell in love with the Sonoran Desert and all it has to offer. In my free time I enjoy photography, road-trips, street tacos, listening to a wide range of music, reading (mostly nerdy non-fiction), and quality time with family and friends.
