Hi there! If you're reading this, you are a brave individual dedicated to becoming the best "you" possible. I am always honored and humbled when chosen to be a part of someone's most intimate journey of self-improvement and fulfillment. Therapy is a powerful though sometimes difficult process for some and growth is never for the weak. Congratulations on getting here!
After working as a professionally trained musician, I made my foree into the helping profession as a board certified music therapist after receiving my education at the University of Iowa. Shortly after beginning my work in the music therapy world, I gained my master's in clinical counseling so I could gain clinical tools and add accessibility for individuals looking to heal their mind, body and soul. My approach is a creative one tailored to the individual; I take a multimodal approach in which I incorporate different skills and methods from different modalities so that I can help an individual meet their goals in a nonthreatening way that appeals to their needs, interests and strengths. Some sessions might incorporate music and art while in other sessions I encourage the power of writing or nature. I enjoy getting to know my clients well so we can use your interests to your advantage.
I have a particular passion for working with survivors of trauma and abuse - both young and old. In my office, I work with individuals with complex PTSD, helping them to process their traumas and build up a new, healthy view of the world, opening their eyes up to safety and security where there was once fear. I also work with offenders and survivors of domestic violence, those suffering from symptoms of mood disorders (such as depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, men's and women's issues, intimacy issues/sexual dysfuction and addiction, comorbid mental health and substance use disorders, parenting concerns, phase of life problems and a variety of other needs. I am trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and find creative ways to use this via distance counseling when indicated. I am here to listen and empathize, offering you a warm and compassionate space to share your concerns and help you to problem solve and heal.
I have a great deal of experience working with individuals (children, adolescents and adults), couples, LGBTQ+ populations, parents and families.
I am so humbled to be a part of your healing journey and look forward to hearing YOUR story.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chelsea rocks and totally understands me.
Great therapist, like talking to a friend!
She is very understanding and easy to talk with. She works at my pace and helps me set boundaries that are good for me.
Chelsea has been so helpful to me. She listens and really understands what I need help with. She is so friendly and thoughtful. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Ms. Chelsea has been my primary support and has gone above and beyond in so many ways.
From the very first time we spoke, I instantly felt understood by Chelsea. She is exactly who I needed (and current need) to heal, and she seems to know exactly what to say to kindly challenge me or comfort me. Each week she leaves me with “homework” that helps me explore my thoughts and feelings. My outlook on life has drastically improved and I know that with Chelsea, I’ll have the tools and motivation available to become the best version of myself.
Chelsea is incredible I always leave my sessions with a smile and feeling confident in myself she is kind understanding funny and professional I see Chelsea for religious trauma, divorce, coparenting, disordered eating, sexuality (LGBTQIA+) childhood trauma, ocd.
Chelsea is so compassionate and has made a huge, positive impact on my recovery. I haven't found a better qualified therapist and highly recommend her.
Chelsea has been very helpful and understanding in the beginnings of my therapy. I tend to be very busy and I work night shifts so our times don’t always line up perfectly but she has been very timely in her responses and very understanding.
She is amazing. Kind and caring and very understanding.
In a matter of weeks she has been more helpful to me then the number of people and counselors I have tried to see in the past few years. She is the best thing that has happened to me in this time of my life. She is my guardian angel and I’m so grateful for her.
