Chelsey firmly believes in a holistic approach to therapy, affirming her clients in the way that they uniquely make sense of their world. She aims to walk alongside her clients as they journey toward psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing. 

Chelsey considers her professional vocation as a therapist to be both her passion and privilege, as she meets her clients with kindness, humility, and authenticity. She has experience working with survivors of relational abuse alongside comorbid mental health burdens. Additionally, her clinical focus includes complex-trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life-transitions.

Chelsey is dedicated in providing trauma-informed care through a relational approach in counseling, utilizing the therapeutic relationship as a corrective emotional experience. Her therapeutic focus attends to clients' contexts, specifically focusing on the empowerment of their individual strength and dignity. Chelsey practices an Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT) approach, sitting with her clients in the way they navigate their relational maps. She recognizes the importance of the here-and-now process, authentically exploring relationships, attachment style, and family and cultural roles. Chelsey is trained in EMDR. Ultimately, Chelsey integrates creativity and flexibility in tailoring her approach, prioritizing her client’s mental health and well-being.

Chelsey was raised on the East Coast before she made her way to Dallas, Texas where she has resided for the past eight years. During her time in Texas, she earned her graduate degree at Texas Women’s University in Counseling Psychology. Outside of counseling, she enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, long distance runs, and spending time with family and friends.
