About me

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who believes that a tailored mix of experiential processes and existential discussions can contribute to a greater awareness of self and a more meaningful life. I work best with adults who feel stuck, trapped or left behind and are also willing to to take healthy, manageable risks that can open new doors to their future.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session, I'll listen very carefully to you so that we can co-construct a plan that will help guide future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with a wide range of clients over the past five years, I view therapy as an act of co-creation that fosters self-esteem, competence and meaning.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who feel as if their path has gone off course and are open to exploring new routes and dormant strengths and talents.

Chad is amazing. He can listen attentively, provides great insight, narrows the focus on a broader issue, and even gives excellent coping techniques for dealing with overwhelm and burnout. He is REAL. Our sessions never feel clinical and I am comfortable sharing everything with him and knowing I won’t be judged for it.

He took the time to listen to me and allow me the space to figure things out for myself but also bring me back to the issues at hand and how we can address those. He's been so very helpful
