Seeking therapy is scary. You may worry about being judged or feel unsure about opening up to a stranger. Keeping others at arm's length can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, making you question if this is how life is meant to be. You might find yourself envious of how others form connections while you grapple with anxiety, depression, just going through the motions of each day without clarity or purpose. Ultimately, you long for someone who can truly see you and understand the pain you’re experiencing so you don't feel so alone.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

Waitlist for new clients
Hello and welcome. My name is Chandra and I co-create healing spaces with women and non-binary identifying adults who are looking to integrate past traumas and life experiences, to have more self acceptance. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking to establish ongoing care, I am here to support you on your journey home to yourself.

Welcome! I'm Chanté, a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist dedicated to helping others navigate complexity and stress in their lives. I found at a very early age that I have a gift for being a great listener. In both my personal and professional life, I often find that others are comfortable confiding deep and personal things in me. Over time, I developed a natural curiosity to understand human habits and behaviors, which led me to the field of mental health. My own relationship with therapy has had a profoundly positive influence on my life and the goal in my practice is to help instill those same benefits in you.
