I work with professionals, medical residents, graduate, post-graduate and doctoral students by helping them to feel more empowered and less stressed in their high-performance environments. By providing guidance to those facing challenges, I support the process of change during life transitions. Together we explore areas that may be causing symptoms, patterns of behaviour and learn how to accept your own feelings while creating a deeper sense of self. I coach and provide training on how to acquire or improve skills and strategies needed to regulate negative emotions, increase distress tolerance; and minimize and manage triggers.

Finding a therapist has been on your mind, but maybe you’re not exactly sure where to start, or you find it hard to put into words what it is you want from the process. That’s ok! I would consider it a privilege to lean into and explore the “mess” of life and the day to day with you. Maybe you’re looking for deeper connections, increased confidence, help with parenting, getting “unstuck”, or navigating a life transition. Maybe you want to feel more grounded amidst the chaos that life can bring, rather than feeling as though it pulls you in. Or maybe you’re looking to better understand your own past, and how that impacts you now.

Hamilton, ON L9C
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.

Are you smart, driven, career-focused, achievement oriented but just feel STUCK? Nobody sees your high-functioning anxiety; they would never suspect your inner struggle. But your brain is relentless, your inner critic picks apart your every word, you can never get caught up on your to-do list, and no matter how much praise you get - you don't believe it. You wonder if you are depressed, maybe you have ADHD...everything feels like a chore, and life isn't FUN anymore. You've read the self-help books, tried meditation, mental health walks, journaling...You know at the core you need to "love yourself", but truly don't know how

Being a human is hard! You often feel anxious, confused, or frustrated. You might struggle with your body image, food, self-worth, perfectionism, or “shoulding” yourself. Anxiety and depression feel overwhelming. You want things to be different, but you’re unsure how to start. What does feeling your feelings even mean, anyway?! I am passionate about providing a space for queer, fat, and/or neurodivergent humans to unpack the impact of oppression, develop strategies for improved executive functioning and emotional regulation, and discuss practical ways to navigate how hard it is to live in a world that wasn’t made for you.
