COUNSELING & LIFE COACHING

Sometimes you need a coach to give you perspective. Life coaching is a practice that involves guiding people away from anxiety and stress and moving them to identify and realize their goals, dreams, and aspirations while breaking through personal barriers. By becoming self-aware you are free to develop your talents and potential.

Chris is actively involved in national and state policy-making and implementation and has led the growth and expansion of facilities, as well as the creation and running of the only inpatient substance abuse treatment facility in Baltimore County. He is uniquely qualified with the insights necessary to assist your company or agency.

SPEAKING & TRAINING

Chris has been moving audiences from the national stage since the early 1990s, educating and informing people on best practices for their professional and personal lives. Operating as a business coach, Chris has spoken for national and local institutions, as well as interviewed on national and international radio and television.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES

Since the beginning of his professional career as a counselor, Chris’ passion has been working with individuals and community groups. With extensive experience in pastoral care and ministry, he understands the needs and challenges church communities face as they work toward defining their mission and goals related to their congregations and the broader community.
