About Chelsea

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience. I work primarily with adults, supporting individuals navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment, and I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their goals and heal at their own pace.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Walden University. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and strength-based interventions.

I strive to empower others to find their voice, reclaim their power, and know they are never alone. Clients can expect a compassionate and collaborative environment where their goals guide the process and their growth is always the priority. Schedule your first appointment today!

"Life is hard enough; you do not have to face challenges alone."

Get to know Chelsea

What types of clients do you work best with?

I specialize in working with adult clients who have a clear understanding of their therapeutic goals or the areas they wish to explore. I find the most success with individuals who are motivated to engage in the process and are committed to making meaningful changes in their lives.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

I encourage clients to recognize that therapy can sometimes bring up difficult emotions, but this process is essential for developing healthier interpersonal skills and improving communication. It's important to understand that therapy is not a quick fix—it requires time, patience, and active engagement to achieve meaningful growth and lasting change.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

During the initial sessions, clients can expect a focus on building rapport and establishing trust. These early sessions are dedicated to getting to know one another and creating a comfortable, supportive environment for ongoing therapeutic work.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

I deeply value empathy, authenticity, and a non-judgmental stance, which I believe are essential for fostering a safe and supportive environment. My commitment to lifelong learning and self-awareness helps me remain present and adaptable to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that they feel seen, heard, and respected.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

I take a client-centered approach to therapy, recognizing that each individual's needs, experiences, and goals are unique. I seek to understand my clients' specific concerns, values, and personal history.
