About me
I help individuals and couples navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges to find clarity, break free from unhelpful patterns, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. 📱 I also offer 6-WEEK DIGITAL WELLNESS GROUPS for teens & parents to navigate growing digital pressures.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges. My goal is to help you uncover new perspectives and align your life with your values and aspirations. I work with individuals and couples to explore ways of living that bring clarity and fulfillment, helping you break free from old patterns and build healthier relationships.
My approach is collaborative, rooted in warmth, humor, and curiosity. Together, we’ll explore strategies for managing stress, improving relationships, and creating meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re new to therapy or have felt stuck in the past, I’m here to offer a fresh perspective. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together toward a more fulfilling life.
I currently have availability, offer sliding scale options for those with financial need, and you can learn more at TherapyWithChad.com.
