We all need a safe place and an open non-judgmental environment to express needs and work through issues. Therapy can lead to a deeper understanding of the many aspects of yourself, which will allow you to access your strengths, develop new and healthy perspectives, build important skills, experience emotional healing, and enrich your relationships. My approach is client centered and integrates Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Therapy, somatic work, and Narrative Therapy.

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.

Therapy is a journey, but I will be by your side supporting you as you take this rewarding step in your life.

Those who tend to enjoy my approach are individual adults (18+) who are committed to self exploration, challenging past patterns, and personal growth. My practice focuses on people with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that may stem from: lack of identity development (who am I?); adjusting to life changes–such as, going to college, career challenges, coming out, partnering/divorce, death of a loved one, mid-life crisis, retirement, empty nest; relationship conflicts–work or personal; past trauma; poor attachment to childhood caregivers; or experiences as part of a marginalized group (i.e. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, immigrants).

I believe that a healthy outlook comes from having a good grasp of your ABC's... Accept, Balance, Cope. People often say things like, "I need to let it go," or "I need to forgive ...," etc. But we rarely talk about what it means to do that. Those phrases mean accepting that life is what it is-a balance of both good and bad-and making a choice to focus on the things we CAN change. Then "it" can stop directing our lives-we cope. Whether you need to let go of anger, fear, or sadness, I can help!

My ideal client was raised with a slightly "messed up" childhood, which they laugh about but say they are "over it". But, they may be having some concerns in their current relationship dynamics. Or perhaps there's people pleasing behaviors or chronic overachievers. They may be asking themselves- why is this a pattern for me? This curiosity can lead to powerful transformations, less stress, and healthier boundaries.
