I offer therapy by individual choice; in-person, virtual, or tele-therapy options to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families.
Life’s challenges can feel heavy at times—whether you're a teen navigating self‑esteem and school pressures, a student struggling with motivation or attendance, an adult managing anxiety, low mood, or a family working through conflict. It’s completely understandable to feel unheard, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel right. You don’t have to move through it alone. With 15 years of experience as a registered clinical social worker, I support adolescents, adults, and families in finding their way through anxiety, depression, grief, school refusal, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and major life transitions.

I'm available Mondays and Fridays (8am-8pm) in-person and online.
My focus is on helping clients face difficult life challenges and the emotions, worries and fears that come with them. Stress, anxiety, and depression are more familiar to us than we would like. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. And so therapy has to be founded on our relationship we build and the dynamics of it. Finding a therapist right for you is important also.

We offer the flexibility of both in person and virtual sessions.
My ideal client is at the bottom of their “to do” list. They are overworked and pushing themselves beyond capacity. They are likely suffering from symptoms of burnout, stress, anxiety and/or depression. These clients often struggle to understand their own needs because they have neglected themselves, and their mental health for far too long.

I offer sessions in person & online, evening appointments, free discovery calls, and direct bill most private insurances.
I work with athletes, neurodivergent folks and those seeking clarity, direction, and purpose. As a former NCAA D1 athlete, an AuDHD and queer therapist, and a Maltese-Canadian navigating systems not built for me, I understand what it means to move through the world differently. I believe our growth comes from exploring the meaning behind our experiences, how they shape who we are, the ways we connect and how we pursue what matters most to us. In therapy, I work alongside clients in the here-and-now to uncover the how and why beneath their patterns and make sense of their inner world within the systems they exist within.

I offer services in-person in the North End of Halifax, NS.
Our experiences in the world are shaped by a myriad of factors both internal and external to us. Identities, relationships, environments and stressors often impact the ways in which we walk through our lives. Many people find that past hardships continue to influence our present wellbeing. It's common for people to feel fearful and stuck when painful or uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations arise for reasons seemingly outside of our awareness. These occurrences can ultimately hinder our ability to remain present, open and engaged in our day to day lives.

You pour so much into others but find it hard to prioritize yourself. Boundaries feel difficult, and anxiety, self-doubt, or big transitions leave you emotionally drained.

Moving forward feels overwhelming, and you're unsure where to start, but you know you’re ready for change. Hi, my name's Chelsea. I'm a Registered Counselling Therapist Candidate (RCT-C) with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psych and over seven years of experience as a mental health professional. My approach has been described as warm, authentic, and curious.

I am accepting new clients: adults, family, parents, children & teens for in-person & online video sessions with clients in NS, PEI, and ON.
It’s difficult to watch your usually thoughtful child/teen struggling with their big emotions. Your child, who is usually wise beyond their years, becomes quickly unglued. You’re pretty sure that anxiety, worries or low self-esteem are hiding under the big tears, emotional meltdowns, ‘sassy’ attitude and anger. While you desperately want to be there to support your child and help them through this turbulent time, the accumulation of stressors from the demands of life and parenting makes it hard for you to be the parent you want to be in those worst moments, leaving you feeling unsure of what will help.
