Hi, I’m Chelsea! (she/her) I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I work mostly with teens, young adults, and adults (ages 13+) who need support with burnout, attachment/religious trauma, and body image. My approach to therapy is collaborative, and holistic, working together to meet your needs and healing the whole person. I am trained in Brainspottinng, a method of therapy which enables you to access, process, and release trauma “stored” in the body. My hope is to cultivate empowerment, attunement and trust with yourself, and lasting changes in your life; or to hold that hope for you when you’re not able to.

There is hope and healing – it is never too late. I am a safe place to tell your story and explore new ways of being. I can help you uncover the toxic cycles and unproductive patterns that are keeping you from living your best life. Issues like low self-esteem, conflicted relationships, life transitions and personal losses can make you feel alone, sad and uncertain about the future. Or maybe you feel stuck, anxious and stressed because you make the same mistakes over and over again. I can provide a sanctuary where you are heard, supported and grow to become the person you are meant to be.

I enjoy helping clients of all ages gain insight into their internal processes and assisting them to improve their relationships and quality of life. I offer compassionate and effective psychotherapy in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. Patients share and explore their thoughts and feelings, and together we collaborate toward achieving treatment goals. True change comes when we can better understand the reasons behind our actions. I find it a privilege to work with children, couples, families, and individuals, and feel fortunate that my patients have trusted and shared their experiences with me over many years in practice.

I help overthinkers, perfectionists, and high achievers with imposter syndrome to break free from the thought spirals and free to live a fulfilling and joyful life. Clients who come to me are often overwhelmed with pressure to get things perfect and struggle with feeling “enough.” They often prioritize everyone else’s needs over their own and are left feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. They feel like everyone else has it “figured out”, and they want that too. Life can bring on many uncertainties, but one thing’s for sure: you’re ready for relief and to be free of anxiety, self-doubt, and stress.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
