Hi, I'm Chantel -

​​

You know, there’s a lot of advice out there about what I’m “supposed” to write in this section of my website — but the truth is, I want you to meet the real me. Because the version you’re reading here is the same version you’ll get when we’re sitting together in a session.

​

First, I’m truly honored that you’re here and even considering me as someone to walk alongside you on your journey. Therapy works best when you feel a genuine connection with your therapist, and I fully support you finding the person who feels right for you — even if that isn’t me. If you need help finding someone who is the right fit, I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

​

For over five years I’ve worked with women and young women who are navigating transitions, healing from past wounds, managing anxiety, and trying to figure out who they really are. This is the work that lights me up. Every day, I feel privileged to sit with women and help them connect the dots between where they’ve been, who they are now, and where they want to go. On my off days, you’ll find me watching Gilmore Girls, cuddling with my five month old, my dogs, or hanging by the pool — because life is about balance, and I try to practice what I teach.

​

I do this work because I know what it feels like to be lost, to be overwhelmed by anxiety, to question your worth, and to feel like you’re carrying far more than you can hold. I also know what it’s like to work with therapists who didn’t get it — and how life-changing it can be when you finally find one who does. Those experiences have shaped me into the therapist I am today: someone who shows up authentically, listens deeply, and isn’t afraid to walk with you into the hard places.

​

My approach blends formal training and real-life experience. I believe our lived experiences are often the roots of our present-day struggles. Understanding those connections — and healing them — is the key to real, lasting change. So while I’ll teach you practical tools for managing anxiety, setting boundaries, and navigating life’s transitions, I’ll also help you understand why those tools work and how they fit into the bigger picture of your story.

​

At the heart of everything I do is a simple mission: to create a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or expectation. Because you deserve to feel seen, understood, and empowered to create a life that feels authentic to you.

I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re ready to begin this journey — or just curious about whether we’d be a good fit — reach out. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
