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.

Relationships, mental health or life in general can feel unmanageable. Many individuals I work with are seeking clarity, or feeling overwhelmed trying to work through difficult situations where they feel blocked or unable to move forward. I work together with my clients, to make sense of what is occurring in their life and experience changes they have been hoping for.

I find therapy can be a branch that reaches in, something strong you use to pull yourself from a harsh inner world to more solid ground. If you feel overwhelmed or raw, what you're experiencing isn't a problem with who you are. Plenty is hard in this world. Add in factors like your history, systemic barriers, learned habits, vulnerabilities, traumas, or feelings that overwhelm your capacities right now - it can be exhausting. At best. The hopeful news is that you can change your experience: gain understanding and strength, interrupt patterns, create your solid ground, and move in a direction that's in line with what matters to you.

Under the framework of modern attachment theories, I work with clients to gain a greater sense of self-autonomy, determination and understanding. Many of our thoughts and feelings go unchecked during the busyness of a common day. In our work together, we will first learn to identify maladaptive core beliefs that so often plague our mental wellness. From there, I will implement EFT, narrative, and mindfulness approaches to combat self-defeating behaviours. How we think and feel about ourselves has a profound effect on our overall well-being, and both consciously and subconsciously influences every action (or in-action) we take.

I care a lot about my clients. I work carefully to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental and genuine relationship between us. I bring humour and curiosity to the therapy dynamic, integrating relational, experiential and psychoanalytical styles of healing. I specialize in working with those who have lived through and with attachment, relational and complex traumas. Collaboratively we’ll use ‘bottom up’ styles of processing to get at the core of how you’ve learned to be you. We will get curious, make connections, update old learnings, process through wounds and gain insights that can create lasting transformational change.

Trauma can leave us feeling broken, damaged and disconnected. Do you struggle with feeling triggered or always walking on eggshells? Have you isolated yourself because friends and family don’t understand or due to feelings of guilt and shame? Sometimes trauma doesn't have to be something big. Perhaps an event, life transition or change, anxiety or depression has impacted you and you want to get back to yourself again. I want to work with you on healthy coping strategies to not only improve your life but to thrive. You deserve to have meaningful connected relationships and grow your self-worth and purpose as you heal from struggles

Are you a First Responder or a Veteran navigating civvy street? Whether you served in the Military or are a Firefighter, Paramedic, or Police Officer, no one is immune to the stresses of service. For those without this experience, connecting meaningfully can be tough. For me, cultural competency means more than just recognizing your service—it’s about personal experience in uniform.

Trauma shows up in many different ways. Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, unexplained pain or illness, digestive issues, disturbing reminders of past events, past or current abuse or emotional numbness. Maybe you just haven't been able to shake the emotional effects of the pandemic on you and your family. With over 30 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy services, I work with adults whose lives have been affected by such overwhelming feelings and situations, grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, emotional abuse, attachment wounds, intergenerational issues and workplace stressors.

We all have our own stories and experiences that contribute to who we are and how we face challenges. Sometimes, we get so lost in the difficulties of the outside world that we forget to take care of our inner self. This can lead to us struggling with things such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-based oppression, stress management, relationship concerns, immigrant struggles, and life changes. I understand how challenging these difficulties can be, and I am passionate about helping others move from fighting with their feelings to reaching their own inner peace. I also, provide child and play therapy.

Are you a woman who finds herself feeling constantly overwhelmed? Are you plagued by thoughts that no matter how hard you try you feel like you are disappointing those closest to you? If so, you are not alone. There are so many messages about what women should be doing, feeling and looking like that it's easy to forget what matters to us as individuals. From the start, we need to empower our girls to celebrate what makes them unique so that they are able to flourish through the teenage years. Most importantly, women need to be grounded in who they are to navigate the conflicting roles of professional, partner, mother and lover.
