Mental Health Counselor and Life & National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach- Currently accepting new clients.

We at Finding Clarity believe your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health and well being. Just as you would see your primary doctor to maintain your physical health, counseling is here to help maintain your emotional health. With over 20 years of diverse practical and clinical experience, I am a Clinical Psychologist who provides counseling to help individuals and their loved ones address various life issues including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and family conflict.

Are you wanting someone to speak with about the struggles you’ve been facing? I believe that one of the most important components to therapy is the client-counselor relationship. I aim to foster trusting relationships with all my clients so that they feel comfortable, safe, and supported in sharing any and all aspects of life. I have experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and interpersonal relationship issues. In working with my clients I utilize a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach and employ All Foods Fit and Intuitive Eating philosophies.

I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, and transform their lives. Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, why their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are, what’s getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established relationship patterns that do not serve them. I work with clients to create a space that invites creativity and curiosity to solve problems, alleviate symptoms, and look inward at how our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving may be constricting our freedom to achieve.

I believe that everyone can heal, grow, and thrive through therapy. I enjoy working with clients to help them process trauma, loss, and grief and to help those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Everyone needs connection and relationships in their lives. I help my clients become aware of their own needs, emotions, and fears so that they are better able to connect with others. My own experience with grief after losing my husband in a car accident forced me to grow and learn about recovery from catastrophic loss. We all face unique challenges and tragedies in our lives. Therapy can help us to feel less alone in our pain.

My treatment approach provides compassionate, effective help for the challenges you face. I offer evidenced-based solutions for helping adolescents, young adults, and adults address common issues in their lives. I am passionate about providing high quality behavioral health services to individuals. I have over 14 years of experience helping clients manage common social, emotional, and behavioral concerns. I treat an array of presenting concerns, such as depression, OCD, anxiety, mood issues, life transitions, grief, sleep concerns, parent-child conflict, and trauma.

Hey there! My name is Chelsea and I'm excited to potentially be apart of your journey. Many of us have experienced crushing situations that leave a lasting impact on our hearts.

Feeling like depression, anxiety, panic, or relationship issues are getting in the way of your ability to live your best, most fulfilling life? I would love to help. I work with adults and teens ages 16+ who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life-changes, and more. I use a psychodynamic approach to individual clients' problems and work to help them gain insight. I also enjoy educating clients about mental health and teaching specific skills when appropriate. I love working with couples, especially in short-term pre-marital counseling.

Some commonly believed myths about couples counseling are (1) it’s the first step to divorce or separation, (2) a partner is going to feel outnumbered and gained up on, and (3) it involves nothing but tears, sweat, and pain. I am passionate about helping couples heal and rebuild trust after experiencing hurt, neglect, or an affair. I am all about helping couples find their spark again developing habits and communication patterns that help connect them and feel understood by one another. Couples therapy can be fun! Humor lowers tensions and brings a sense of lightheartedness into therapy, reminding us all that we’re only human.

If you struggle with self worth, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, insomia/sleep disorders, women's health, and/or general health psych related problems such as chronic pain, acceptance of a new medical diagnosis, etc., I can provide the tools to assist you in navigating the complexity of these issues.

Seeking therapy is a courageous choice. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey.

I am actively affirming and welcoming of LGBTQIA+ identities and sexual orientation. In our work together, I will encourage you to uncover your strengths, advocate for your needs, and help you reach your goals. I will provide support, humor, and a nonjudgmental perspective throughout our work together.

Whether you are an executive working to find your rhythm in leadership, a member of the armed services struggling with return from deployment, a young adult questioning your sexual orientation, a couple trying to inspire the next phase of your relationship, or an athlete trying to push through a frustrating plateau, my solution-focused approach will help you accomplish your therapeutic goals.
