Christopher began his professional journey by joining the United States Navy’s Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP), where he received clinical training at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC). One of the most rewarding experiences of his career was working with Wounded Warriors and Special Operations personnel transitioning from combat while at WRNMMC.
After earning his LCSW, Christopher commissioned as an Officer in the United States Navy, Medical Service Corps (Designator 2300), where he served as a mental health professional supporting service members and their families. His clinical expertise includes treating depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), psychotic disorders, impulse control disorders, conduct disorders, somatic disorders, and adjustment challenges.
In 2019, Christopher honorably discharged from the Navy after years of dedicated service, during which he earned multiple commendation medals. Post-military, he focused on ensuring homeless veterans have access to housing, employment, healthcare, and supportive services. He also continued his clinical work in private practice and contract roles, supporting individuals, couples, and families.
Christopher is trained in:
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
