Hi, I’m Chelsea. I understand what it means to carry a full plate and still try to pour into others. As a mom, partner, friend, and Marriage and Family therapist, I know the pressure of balancing family, career goals, relationships, and the never-ending carpool schedule. I also know that we often give our best to everyone else… and forget to leave space for ourselves. That’s where therapy comes in.
I believe that therapy is a space to be seen, heard, and reminded that your needs matter too. I bring a warm, compassionate, and calming presence to sessions, while also weaving in humor and lightness when it’s needed most. I often say, “If we can laugh, we’re healing.”
I work with individuals, couples, and families to uncover unhelpful patterns and replace them with ones that feel more connected and empowering. Together, we explore family roles, strengthen communication, and rebuild trust so relationships feel aligned, supportive, and deeply rooted in connection.
