Honestly, relationships are at the core of who we are. Whether it’s your relationship with yourself, your partner, your children, or your friends... when these bonds are healthy, they help you thrive and heal many wounds. But sometimes conflict can get in the way of what you want for your life and relationships. That may be trauma, beliefs that hurt instead of help, new mental health symptoms, or behaviors that aren’t working for you - most of these stem from some kind of relationship. My role is to come alongside you and help you learn new ways to understand and relate to these struggles.

If a relationship has reached a crisis point, you may be searching for some guidance to turn it around. I enjoy helping couples and families understand each other better and deepen communication. As an individual, do you wonder why you feel stuck in the same endless loop of reactions? Do you find yourself triggered by certain situations you would like to get past? Do you believe that you are not living up to potential you know you have? I may be able to help you reclaim your best self and project it out to other people. You can learn new, more effective, ways to deal with situations.

Are you a high-capacity professional who has mastered external success but lost your internal Autonomy?
Many high achievers find themselves in a 'crisis-cycle'—performing at an elite level while their nervous system remains in a state of survival. I specialize in helping you move from functional alarm to authentic self-regulation.
Using the framework of Self-Determination Theory, we focus on three pillars of recovery:
Autonomy: Reclaiming your power of choice.
Competence: Mastering your own physiological regulation and cognitive clarity.
Relatedness: Fostering deeper, more nurturing connections with yourself and others.

Hi, I’m Chelsea. I work with people who are ready to move toward healing, even if they’re not sure what that looks like yet. Change can feel uncertain, and working toward your goals isn’t always straightforward. Most of us carry experiences that shape how we show up, and sometimes it helps to have someone alongside us as we sort through them. If you’re here, considering support, that matters—and it’s a meaningful place to begin. I’m someone who needs movement in my life—it’s a big part of how I take care of both my body and my mind. On my days off, you’ll usually find me hiking or climbing. I think about this work in a similar way.

I work with individuals who feel stuck in their relationship(s), past or present. Do you feel unsatisfied or confused and don't know why or how to fix it? Do you want to feel able to trust your decision making or to do what it is you want? If so, you likely have been dealing with this for a long time and have done everything you know to do. Now you are exhausted and at the end of your rope. I help you see through all of the confusion and and fog to get to a place where you can trust your intuition, face reality, and gain independence.

Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, disconnected, grieving, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You’ve been constantly adapting to survive, or trying to make sense of who you are in a world that hasn’t always made space for you. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can exhale, be fully yourself, and begin to heal in ways that feel nurturing and fulfilling. I work primarily with adults across various identities, with a particular commitment to serving BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and multicultural clients.

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. Maybe you’re in recovery and things feel more stable, but beneath the surface, you’re noticing familiar patterns—people-pleasing, difficulty trusting, feeling disconnected or stuck. Or maybe you’ve always been the high achiever, the caretaker, the one holding it all together—and now anxiety or burnout is catching up. You want more than just coping; you want to understand yourself deeply, break old cycles, and live a life that feels authentic, grounded, and truly your own. You’re ready for deeper work and real growth.

The word counseling can be given a negative view. We live in a society where there is judgement, lack of empathy, and everyone focusing on self; that can be a lonely, overwhelming life to live. Knowing these trials, my goal as a counselor is to walk with you through your process of healing and restoration. This means that counseling is simply focusing on your strengths, and addressing the steps that you feel are best to make a new direction to have an overflow of more greatness in life. Everyone needs a boost of support to get through each day. So, lets take that first step together!

Life is full of change. Sometimes you choose the change; often the change is thrust upon you. Changes - even good ones - can be disorienting, disruptive, and difficult to navigate. They challenge you emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally. Yet, changes also offer an opportunity to challenge old habits and start new ones. They provide fertile ground for growth, to become more fully who you were created to be. Maybe you're experiencing a significant change right now - or considering one - and you're looking for a skilled guide and an accepting environment to work it through.

Deciding to go to therapy is a brave and vulnerable decision. My goal is to provide a safe collaborative space to provide you with support. I believe that our need to belong and have healthy relationships is fundamental to the human experience. Often times we do not feel seen or valued for who we are or what we have gone through. I want to guide people to explore their authentic selves. Through a safe and transparent therapeutic relationship, we can unpack personal experiences and understand how they shape the present.
