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. Life growth and transformation can be a beautiful experience, and it is my goal to help you experience what others have previously experienced with me. Finding happiness in life does not need to be out of reach, or seem impossible for you.
