I strongly believe that our experiences shape our perspectives and influence how we move through our lives. Every individual is unique. While being impacted by social, cultural, economic, and spiritual experiences, I acknowledge that within each person lies inherent strengths to draw from towards healing and growth. My goal is to help each person discover and build upon those strengths in a safe environment, establishing a collaborative relationship with which we can work together through a tailored, integrated approach. I am honest and non-enabling in my approach as a social worker.
In addition, I honor and understand the importance of validation and continually work to be kind, nonjudgmental, and compassionate. I begin each new relationship by inviting individuals to tell me their story. I honor and respect the courage it takes to be vulnerable and open. I treat my clients as equal partners in the process of healing. I encourage you to

Groups
Social Skills Groups (For Children 6 - 15) - ZOOM
Welcome! In our friendly group, we will learn together how to interact appropriately with others our age. Miss Chelsea can help kids learn conversational, friendship and problem-solving skills! This can also be useful in teaching kids to control their emotions and understand other people’s perspectives. Social skills group is different than a traditional play-date or peer-based hangout – they are a supervised therapeutic event where the goal is to help children and adolescents gain skills in social interaction.

Women's DBT Group (through Polyvagal Perspective)
We will begin our group work with the Polyvagal Theory. By adding a polyvagal perspective to group, we are helping re-pattern our nervous systems, build capacities for regulation, and create autonomic pathways of safety and connection. This process will allow us to safely move into our "window of Tolerance" or Ventral state. This lends way to learning the DBT skills that follow.

Men's Group
Often men are taught rigid masculinity. This often leads to many men feeling isolated, anxious and depressed. The very emotions they should seek help for, they stuff down and “go it alone.” Bearing their emotional pain seems a better idea than opening themselves up to the stigma of seeking therapy. The group provides a unique experience for men to engage with others and practice new skills in an environment that requires less precision. I am committed to providing a safe space free of judgment and criticism for you to explore yourself and how you relate to others.
