About Chris

Chris holds a Ph.D. in conflict analysis and resolution and specializes in relationships, boundaries, and self-limiting mindsets as a coach.

She’s passionate about people and partners with them to figure out how to change what isn’t working and move toward a life of fulfillment.

Chris has taught inmates social-emotion skills and restorative justice concepts for several years and enjoys diverse career interests, including writing, adjunct sociology professor, podcasting, and corporate training.

According to Chris everything comes back to relationships — with ourselves and others. When we understand how our brain works, harness unproductive thoughts, and regulate our emotions, the connection we have with others will flourish and grow.
