Hi, I’m Chris, founder of Coastal Roots Therapy. I was born and raised in Cape Breton, and my approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and genuine human connection.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in education, construction, and residential care, experiences that gave me the opportunity to connect with people from many different backgrounds. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist – Candidate (RCT-C).

I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to better understand your challenges, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our dog, Lilly, exploring the outdoors, skiing, and making the most of everything Cape Breton has to offer.
