Life often presents itself as a series of changes. Some of these changes lift us up, and some challenge us. If you are feeling unsettled by stresses in your life, wondering how to achieve more balance, meaning and purpose, counselling may help.

Do you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, depression leaves you feeling stuck, or low self-esteem makes you question your worth. You might feel disconnected in your relationships, unsure how to express your needs or afraid of not being enough. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your challenges and build on your strengths.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I bring a wealth of experience from my diverse background in mental health care. I have had the privilege of working in rural Ontario, where I conducted psychoeducational and psychological assessments, as well as facilitating a Support for Depression group with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). My approach is rooted in empathy and goal attainment, and I have supported both adolescents (16+) and adults dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, the complex stresses of work, life transitions, and relationship issues.

Chad is an award winning therapist who doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. My main goal is to help people know how to be emotionally healthy using a combination of tools I've created through life experience and modalities like solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT. I tend to be a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more laughs than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help people feel cared about and safe enough to share their lives. Men (or anyone) who are nervous about therapy or people who have had a bad experience with it tend to really like my down to earth style.

As a psychotherapist, I seek to provide you with a life transforming experience to help you deal with the difficult issues in your life, such as relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, or grief. I offer you an authentic human relational encounter that fosters growth, support and change.
