About Chelsea

With nearly 10 years of counselling experience my aim is to help you process the past to be able to archive it, so you can be both authentic and present to your life now, while moving towards what you value and your future. It’s a common misconception that you need to hit “rock bottom” before starting counselling. Whether you’re in a season of life where you’re looking for insight, needing some guidance in making a shift or transition, wanting to change but not being sure how, hurting badly and feeling hopeless, carrying a burden of past traumas and memories, or you’ve reached your limit—counselling can help.

I am trained in a number of advanced therapeutic modalities and I utilize a personalized approach to addressing your goals. While I have worked with various issues in my career, my practice is currently comprised of helping people with: anxiety/panic, depression, trauma, relational injuries, family of origin issues, somatic issues, religious trauma and faith issues, existential issues, grief and loss, and stress/burnout for enterpreneurs and business owners. With the guidance of a trained therapist, I believe that healing the self or one’s relationships begins with awareness, grows through insight, is nurtured in relationship, and is sustained by practice.

In addition to being a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I was the Executive Director and Founding Partner of Vitality Collective for 7+ years, leading a province-wide virtual mental health clinic with several in-person offices in BC. I have had the honour of cultivating and mentoring a team of over 60+ counselling professionals during my career. I have also taught Intro to Psychology at the college-level and I was a board member of Existential Analysis Canada.

Personally—I’m married, a mom to two kids and one anxious dog, a world traveler, and a lifelong learner who always has a book or podcast on the go. I’m deeply passionate about entrepreneurship and the magic of building something from scratch—whether that’s a business, a life you love, or a healthier relationship with yourself.
