Hi, I'm Chelsea.

I'm glad you're here.

If you're anything like many of the women I work with, you've spent a lot of time taking care of everyone else. You're thoughtful, responsible, and capable. On the outside, things may look fine. But on the inside, you're overwhelmed, overthinking everything, and wondering why it feels so hard to give yourself the same compassion you offer others.

That's where therapy can help.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, ADHD, relationship challenges, family patterns, and life's many transitions. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, develop practical tools for change, and create space for a life that feels more balanced and authentic.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation—not a place where you have to have all the right answers. You are the expert on your life. My role is to help you better understand yourself, challenge unhelpful patterns, and move toward the changes you want to make.

I draw from a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based practices, always tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals.

A little about me: I'm a wife, mom, counselor, lifelong learner, and someone who deeply values authenticity and connection. I know that life can be messy, complicated, and sometimes overwhelming. I also know that meaningful growth is possible when we have support along the way.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, struggling with self-doubt, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply wanting a place to sort through life's challenges, you don't have to figure it all out alone.

I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
