Hello, and welcome! My name is Chelsea (she/her), and I’m honoured to support you on your journey.
I work with folks on healing from experiences of trauma, exploring identity, working on the ways we show up in relationships, and navigating experiences of anxiety and burnout.
My aim is to offer a warm and steady presence, and a gentle invitation to be present with and curious about your inner world. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I tailor my approach based on what style each client is looking for. Sometimes that looks like building actionable ways to work with thoughts that feel sticky and challenging, or working on skills that can help us find a sense of steadiness through overwhelming emotion. Other times, you might want to explore the roots of your experiences, understand the impact of past wounds on your present self, or find ways to break old patterns.

I'm specialized in working with spiritual emergencies, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and relational trauma.
The Self calls to us in many ways. Life may feel destabilized, old patterns may be breaking, and a sense of urgency or confusion can arise. A crisis may reveal itself as significant relationship challenge, great loss, suicidal thoughts, loss of meaning, persistent anxiety, addiction, or simply an uncomfortable tug that persists no matter our efforts. These experiences are the psyches invitation into deeper awareness. My work offers a space to explore, attune, and integrate the deeper truths within you.

Trauma and PTSD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.
How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.
What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.
Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
