LCSW, 8 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University at Buffalo in 2015. Over the past eight years, I have been providing psychotherapy services to support individuals in their recovery from a wide variety of mental health challenges and trauma. I believe that providing a safe space to heal and grow is an important piece of mental health recovery, and it is something I strive to provide to each of my clients. I would describe myself as a very positive person, calm, an optimist, and creative. I am looking forward to meeting with you!
I am passionate about working collaboratively to decrease the difficult symptoms you are struggling with to ultimately improve your quality of life.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools, Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods, mindfulness, and Seeking Safety materials.
I think my biggest strengths are active listening, providing verbal praise to acknowledge your progress, and helping you develop self-compassion.

I came via Kaiser. She has been really helpful and patient with me as I work with the same underlying issues, but also points out progress. She just picks up where we left off, and refers to things from the past that I said. She’s a good communicator, easy to understand, comes off as genuine, and it feels safe to open up. Not too “crunchy” not too “clinical”. I am glad I found her! Sometimes it’s hard finding the right therapist.

I've been so grateful to find Chelsea! We've been able to build a great and deep therapeutic relationship so I feel safe to say what's on my mind. She is great at creating an environment you need to process feelings but also challenges you to take care of yourself between sessions. I've been able to see lots of growth these past few years!
