Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Chelsy, a Licensed Therapist. In my 10 years as a therapist, I have become passionate about supporting women navigating seasons of life, career decisions, relationship issues, pregnancy, post-partum, coping with loss, and beyond. I love providing support during life transitions and helping my clients to be the best possible versions of themselves. Working with me, you can expect a warm, judgment-free space for honest, transparent conversations, processing experiences, and practicing coping tools.

My approach to therapy

I operate from a strengths-based approach to empower and build my clients' self-confidence. I also approach therapy with directness, challenging unhelpful thoughts while remaining empathetic and affirming of your personal experiences. My goal is for you to reach your goals and for me to troubleshoot and support you along the way.

What you can expect from me

After sessions, you can expect to feel emotionally "lighter" as I listen and help unpack what is troubling you. I will offer coping strategies for you to try and report back on the effectiveness in our next session.
