Therapy for moms navigating the perinatal period and early parenthood, anywhere virtually in Illinois, & in-person in Glen Ellyn.
about chelsea
I became a therapist because I delight in growth and believe it often happens in relationship. I believe authenticity matters, and that having the courage to be honest – even about difficulty – opens up hope for change. I believe that everyone, when they have the support and tools they need, can begin taking steps towards further growth, healing, wholeness, and even joy.
As a therapist, I have a warm, collaborative style, and will support you in learning to care for yourself and others from a place of kindness, trust, and connection. I have advanced training in perinatal mental health, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and trauma. I specialize in working with moms and couples navigating the perinatal period and early parenthood.
I’m a lover of sharing time with my husband and three little ones, connecting with family and friends, walking my dog, curling up on my reading chair with books and poetry, hearing new perspectives, enjoying the outdoors (if it’s not TOO cold), trying to learn about gardening, and - always - drinking coffee.
