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. Whether you've struggled to maintain a relationship with your family or feel burnt-out from life, stress can weigh heavily on us. My guiding philosophy for your mental health is rooted in support, challenges, and encouragement, as I help you achieve a life that feels free, whole, and healthy.
I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, including childhood abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I also specialize in grief counseling which allows me to support clients through the complex emotions that arise after a significant loss. I'm also an LGBTQ+ affirming and IFS informed therapist.
My ultimate goal is to empower clients to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, free from the burdens of trauma and grief. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and grow, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards emotional wellness.

In our therapeutic journey together, I employ a multifaceted approach, drawing from mindfulness, parts work and psychoanalysis to facilitate a deep and compassionate exploration of the various aspects of your being. This involves embracing without judgment the parts of yourself that may be longing to be heard. I'll help you learn how to approach your concerns with no judgement and kindness.
