Hi there, I'm Chanel!

Life can feel overwhelming, and asking for help isn't always easy. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe being yourself. Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, build effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, mood and personality disorders, and substance use concerns. I am especially passionate about supporting clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure of how to move forward.

My approach

I take a collaborative, person-centered approach to therapy because I believe each person's experiences and goals are unique. I integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change.
