Hello! I'm Chelsea, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of experience helping people navigate the complexities of trauma. I am a trained EMDR therapist specializing in treating sexual and family violence. I provide virtual therapy to clients throughout California and I create a welcoming and collaborative space for you to safely explore your pain and to achieve healing.
During our first session we will talk about what is bringing you to treatment and how I can help. We will work together to create a plan for how to address your concerns and I will answer any questions you have. You are always in control of your treatment and I will do everything I can to make you feel supported and understood.
I use a trauma informed approach and support my clients on their healing journeys. I am compassionate but also straight forward. I will support you in your journey while also challenging you to grow and heal.

In our initial meeting Chelsea informed me that she is direct and solution oriented and almost warned me about it- but this is what I need in a therapist, someone who sees my areas for growth and pushes me towards them. She is warm and comforting but will also direct you towards your best self always.

Chelsea provides a safe and nurturing space for her clients to grow in their goals. She is able to establish a warm connection quickly and helps clarify confusing or emotionally difficult experiences. Chelsea has been nothing but supportive and open-minded while I talk about my past trauma. She has been able to help me empower myself to open up emotionally, mentally and psychologically. I would recommend her to anyone who may be wary of therapy or has had a bad therapy experience in the past.
I am an EMDRIA trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist with experience treating trauma in teens and adults. I use EMDR as part of a comprehensive approach to trauma treatment that allows my clients to integrate and process painful and traumatic experiences to find peace and healing. I create compassionate and responsive environment that respects where my clients are and lets them lead the way in their healing journey.
Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a trauma treatment that allows for my clients to make sense of what has happened to them. We focus on understanding emotions, use of healthy coping skills and creating a story that helps make sense of what happened and allows for healing.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a part of an electic and comprehensive approach to therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors with the understanding that our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. I will help you challenge your unhelpful beliefs and create options for healthier choices which will reduce your stress and lead to a healthier, happier life.
