With over 20 years of experience in counseling, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and purpose. My approach is eclectic and personalized, drawing from a variety of evidenced based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma, addiction/substance abuse, family and couples therapy, and motivational interviewing. I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported in a safe space. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life— autism, teens struggling with anxiety or identity, adults facing life transitions and challenges, and couples and families seeking connection and understanding. Whether someone is managing depression, struggling with addiction, recovering from trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I tailor each session to their unique goals and strengths. My clients often say they feel more empowered, grounded, and hopeful after our work together. I help them uncover patterns that no longer serve them, gain practical tools for change, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. Online counseling offers the flexibility and privacy many people need to take that first step toward healing. Whether you're reaching out for the first time or returning to therapy, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy and expertise. You don’t have to face this alone

Hi, I'm Chelsea. I help people whose emotional pain has spilled out onto their relationships, work, family, or physical health. Perhaps this pain has come up due to facing a significant life transition, grieving a loved one, difficulty moving forward from traumatic experiences, or recovering from prolonged stressful periods of life. Often this pain comes in the form of physical anxiety, excessive worry, obsessive thinking, hypervigilance, depressed or unstable mood, irritability, numbness, hopelessness, fatigue, dissociation, or suicidal thoughts. I believe that mental health symptom relief and learning practical coping skills are important, and I also believe that healing does not have to stop there. Therapy can be a place to uncover your authentic self, to remove the weight of the past, to help you live a meaningful life where you have agency, or to build your psychological immunity for the future. Let’s see if we’re a good fit!

I remain open-minded to whatever the client's needs are and tailor therapy techniques and approaches to best fit the client's needs. While meeting with each client, I try to imagine what it must be like to be this person and to experience all of the things they have gone through and are going through. I find myself able to connect with each one of my clients on a personal level to give every individual the same respect, dignity, understanding, empathy, compassion, and time, a person deserves while actively listening to what the client is saying verbally and non-verbally. I am always learning new information, and therapy techniques, and growing my skills while increasing my abilities and knowledge in the mental health field and applying this knowledge to my everyday practice. Each of my clients teaches me something new and in turn, I utilize this knowledge gained to grow both personally, spiritually, and professionally and enrich myself as a therapist. I recognize it takes courage to engage in the process of therapy. I appreciate your motivation and will work respectfully with you to create a positive, collaborative, therapeutic relationship. The focus of my practice is helping people to overcome and understand issues that impact their quality of life. I feel it is essential to understand the person as a whole by having a clear picture including mind, body, and spirit, to start the healing process to grow. I provide a safe judgment-free space where my clients can feel comfortable discussing the issues they wish to resolve or find difficult to deal with. I have found the process of developing a therapeutic relationship to be profound and fundamentally important to facilitating growth and change. I am ready to assist you in these stages of change and help you to reach your goals. I am looking forward to joining you on your journey!

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
