Your Therapist

Hi! I'm Chelsea (She/Her/Hers)

As someone who has sat on both sides of the therapy chair, I know how important it is to find a therapist that you click with. So, let me take some time to share a bit about myself.

First and foremost, I view our therapy relationship as such an important vehicle for change. One of my goals is to create a collaborative and comforting environment where you feel heard, are able to express yourself, and can share a few laughs along the way. I practice from an affirming and inclusive foundation. I want to get an understanding of what is important to you and how you experience the world.

Professionally, I have worked in a variety of settings ranging from inpatient to crisis services to forensics. I now find professional home in outpatient therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and have my Master's in Science in Counseling Psychology. I am a certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA and have extensive training on advanced EMDR topics such as dissociation, parts work, attachment trauma, and perinatal mental health. I like to incorporate aspects of feminist theory, humor, and strengths based psychology into sessions. You can click here for a list of trainings I have completed and other professional info.

Personally, I identify as a liberal straight female. I'm married and have three dog children (Sampson, Ashe, and Clay) and am a new mom to a baby boy. I have lived experiences with trauma, EMDR, autoimmune conditions, and Neurodivergence. I'm a Gen Z coffee addict who is also just moving through life for the first time trying to figure it out. I'm excited to meet you and dive in!
