My belief is that no matter how stuck a person feels, there is hope. I describe myself as a practical psychodynamic therapist. I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and humor. Questions will be asked, and we will answer them together. We will collaborate to discover and implement tools to help you start feeling better as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we will explore how past experiences affect your present life. We do this to honor our past experiences, improve current and future relationships, and lead more satisfying lives. We heal when we find new ways of being in relationship to others.

I have a BA in Philosophy and Women Gender Studies from St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a Master of Public Policy, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Maryland. I have experience working for the federal government and in mental health policy. I work at the intersection of trauma and neurodivergence. Most of my clients have a history of childhood abuse/trauma and are neurodivergent (autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder). I am LGBTQ allied.

Chelsea has successfully completed our Racial Trauma Training Program.
