Trust is the foundation of healing—and it takes time, safety, and courage. My first priority in therapy is creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I bring empathy, patience, and deep respect to the therapeutic relationship, and I’ll meet you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll take time to explore your unique experiences and needs and uncover strategies that encourage authentic expression and personal growth.
My approach is grounded in attachment theory and shaped by experiential, somatic, and parts work practices. While I work with a wide range of concerns, I have a special interest in supporting individuals navigating the effects of childhood and complex trauma, as well as anxiety and relationship challenges. Currently, I work with adults (18+) and couples.
I understand the vulnerability needed to share one’s story and the importance of true empathy in healing. I hope to provide a space where you can express yourself without fear, discover self-compassion, build resilience, and create the change you desire. If you feel I may be a good fit, I invite you to contact me using the information below.

Chelsea and I were in the same practicum group while in graduate school. Of anyone in my cohort, I would pick Chelsea as my personal therapist. She is genuine, soft, kind, understanding, encouraging while being skillful and she knows how to help others.
