Are you wanting to help your child/teenager learn healthier coping skills and improve their emotional regulation skills so they are better equipped to handle life's challenges? Are you looking for parenting strategies to help? Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed? I can help and I am glad that you are here.

My name is Chelsey and prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as an Educational Assistant with the Durham District School Board where I supported children with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities as well as Autism. Prior to that, I worked as a Family Support Worker and Developmental Services Worker. These experiences have reinforced my passion for helping others. I want to make a positive difference in peoples lives, particularly for those who are struggling within their mental health, emotional dysregulation and low self esteem, as I did in my own teenage years and young adult life. 

Together, we can explore past experiences, traumas (if you are comfortable doing so) and current challenges in a safe and supportive environment so we can create positive and sustainable change. I can also utilize CBT skills to help you understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours to increase ones sense of control and self acceptance.
