My approach is warm and present. I trust in your judgment in the therapeutic process, and view each individual as the expert in their own life. I’ve worked in the mental health field in Northern New Mexican communities for a decade.
My approach is trauma informed, strengths based, and includes EMDR, family systems therapy, somatic mindfulness, narrative therapy, and techniques from Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry approach. I use humor when it fits. I believe our relationships with nature, community, spirituality, and creativity can be primary parts of the healing process.

I enjoy assisting clients in finding meaning, joy and connection in their lives. All of us have had painful and traumatic experiences. Modern life is very stressful, and sometimes we need guidance and support in how to cope with difficult circumstances we might find ourselves facing. I can offer a variety of methods to let go of the past and find clarity and peace in the present, and hope for the future. Meditation, mindfulness, guided imagery, and EMDR are some of the techniques I utilize most. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I work with individuals and couples facing crises, complex relationship dynamics, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented and growth-focused, helping clients regain clarity, agency, and a stronger sense of self. I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in recurring patterns, identity confusion, or emotional reactivity and are seeking meaningful, lasting change rather than surface-level coping.

Are you a woman who struggles with anxiety and often feels drained? Do you tend to avoid your emotions instead of addressing them, yet on some level, you know you feel overwhelmed, irritable, and disengaged?

Anxiety can pull you between the past, present, and future, causing old wounds and trauma to resurface. I’m Chelsie. I’ll help you regulate your nervous system so you can feel more grounded and present in your daily life.

Many of the people I work with are carrying a lot — family conflict, relationship strain, parenting stress, or feeling stuck. In Northern New Mexico, family and community run deep. Sometimes that strength also brings complexity. My clients often want life to feel steadier, relationships to feel clearer, and their day-to-day experience to better reflect their values.

Do you feel like you are waiting for your real life to start?
I love talking through an existential crisis or sitting with thoughts and feelings you might think are unacceptable to share. In my view, real life begins when we see our dreams and fears for what they are, start taking responsibility for the choices we do have, and allow ourselves to begin feeling this life more fully.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
