About Chad
Chad came to therapy through a background that spans couples and family work, autism support, and residential care — a path that gave him a firsthand appreciation for how relationships and systems shape individual experience. He sees people not as isolated cases, but as beings embedded in webs of connection that either sustain them or wear them down.
He completed his Master's degree in Couples and Family Therapy at Seattle University in 2025, training with clients across a wide range of presenting concerns under licensed supervision. His systemic lens means he's always thinking about context — not just what's happening inside you, but the relational and environmental forces that have shaped your experience over time.
Chad is LGBTQIA+ affirming and has a particular interest in identity-related work, gender and sexuality, and the ways that family-of-origin patterns show up in adult relationships. He brings patience, genuine curiosity, and a collaborative presence to every session.

Before Your First Session
Starting therapy takes courage. If you're here, you've already taken that step. Chad's goal in the first session is simple: to get to know you — not just your history or your symptoms, but how you think, what you value, and what you're hoping for. Come as you are.
