Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Chelsey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. My background as a medical social worker has given me a deep understanding of how mental, emotional, and physical well-being are all connected. Now, I’m passionate about creating a space where people can heal, grow, and take their power back.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe therapy should meet you exactly where you are—not where you think you should be. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you start therapy. You just have to be ready to take the next step.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a space to slow down, feel heard, and explore what brought you to therapy. Together, we’ll identify your current goals, uncover what may be keeping you feeling stuck, and begin creating a path toward meaningful change.

As we work together, we’ll explore the coping patterns that may no longer be serving you and develop healthier, more effective tools to help you manage life’s challenges. My goal is to help you gain insight, build confidence, strengthen your coping skills, and feel empowered to make choices that align with the life you want.

Therapy is a journey, not a race. Come ready to unpack. Come ready to process. Come ready to grow. Most importantly, come ready to take your power back.
