Hi, I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for working with individuals navigating anxiety, identity, and life's many transitions. I believe that real, lasting change doesn't come from a technique or a worksheet, it comes from the relationship we build together. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful predictor of meaningful growth. That's why I'm deeply committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and never judged. A place where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're stepping into something new, feeling stuck in place, or simply trying to find your footing, I'm here to help you navigate every step of the way. My approach is collaborative at its core. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, because you are not a one-size-fits-all person. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, uncover your strengths, and work toward the kind of change that actually lasts at a pace that feels right for you. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

First session

In our work together, I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities to help you build self-awareness, develop healthier thought patterns, and reconnect with what actually matters to you. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. I believe that true growth comes from the relationship between therapist and client, and that a true working relationship is the foundation of therapeutic growth.

Strengths

What sets my approach apart starts with something simple: I genuinely believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to hand you a roadmap or tell you what healing should look like — it's to support you as you find your own way. At the heart of my practice is a humanistic, person-centered philosophy. That means I meet you where you are, with curiosity and without judgment. From there, I draw on practical, evidence-based strategies for managing anxiety, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and building emotional resilience. But I hold these tools loosely, always coming back to what feels most meaningful and useful for you. Because no two people are the same, I don't follow a rigid script. Every client brings a unique story, and I tailor my approach accordingly, using whatever combination of insight, skill-building, and honest conversation will serve you best. The result is therapy that feels less like a clinical process and more like a real, human connection — one that I believe is the true catalyst for lasting change.

Ideal clients

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, identity, and life transitions — and often, some combination of all three. You might be a good fit if you're: - Feeling overwhelmed by change, even change you chose - Struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or a nagging sense that something is off - Working through a major life transition; a new role, a relationship shift, a loss, or a fresh start - Trying to understand yourself more deeply and live more intentionally I work well with clients who are curious, introspective, and genuinely invested in the process, even when it's hard. You don't need to come in with clear goals or the right words. You just need to be willing to show up, and we'll build from there.

Treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

The biggest growth doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in the relationship between people. Using person-centered techniques to build a strong, foundational relationship between us is my goal from the start, and will ensure you reach your highest potential.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Sometimes, therapy needs to be a place of solutions rather than deep processing. I lean on solution focused brief therapy techniques when it makes the most sense based on your therapeutic goals.

Chelsea is such a good fit for me. She was kind, warm, and let my brain jump from topic to topic. I felt so comfortable telling her my history and vulnerabilities. It was like talking to a friend who can gently call me out and redirect my thoughts, and let me know that this time is for me. I’m excited for our journey together.
