I love working with highly motivated couples and individuals who are ready to do the hard work of healing. Maybe you’ve spent years getting degrees or a dream job at the expense of connection to others. Perhaps alcohol or drugs helped you cope for a while but they’ve created some problems of their own. The pressure to succeed can be traumatic and distance you from those you love. I want to help you realign to succeed in life and love!
From infancy onward, we need connection to and comfort from others to thrive. When relationships work, they’re beautiful and nourishing. When they’re not working, it’s devastating. Therapy can help heal emotional wounds from our families, friends, addictions, and relationships. Therapy can help you create the nourishing relationships we all need to thrive.
Don’t wait any longer. An hour per week could help you heal yourself, your family, and your relationships. Reach out today and let’s talk about working together.

Chad is my go-to referral for struggling couples because of his integrative approach and deep experience with the Gottman Method. Chad is also well-informed on ethical nonmonogamy, kink, and a variety of models that help him work with individuals also.
