Christian is a dedicated therapist who brings compassion, authenticity, and deep respect for neurodiversity and disability-lived experience into every therapeutic relationship. As a neurodivergent-affirming clinician, Christian centers his work on the belief that all minds are valuable and that healing begins with honoring each person’s unique way of experiencing the world. He complements this perspective by recognizing that mental health and well-being are closely associated with social factors, physical health, and spirituality. Christian holds a Master of Social Work from Dominican University and is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Illinois. With a rich background in disability services, crisis prevention, and mental health care, he has supported individuals across the lifespan—particularly clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and autistic folks, all from a neurodivergent affirming perspective. Christian integrates a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy, DBT, and somatic modalities, always adapting to fit the client’s needs. Christian's therapeutic interactions are built on collaboration and curiosity—where clients are empowered to define what healing, thriving, and success look like for them.
