Biography

Hi there! I’m a compassionate therapist who loves helping children, teens, and young adults work through life’s challenges, big and small. Whether your child is managing big emotions, you’re navigating the ups and downs of growing up, or you’re simply wanting to feel more confident and balanced, I’m here to help. I earned my Master’s in Social Work with a focus on child and adolescent mental health, and I draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Play Therapy techniques. I tailor each session to meet every client right where they are. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. Together, we’ll build coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and uncover the unique strengths and stories that make you who you are. Whether we’re processing big emotions, navigating life transitions, or building greater self-awareness, I believe healing starts with connection, curiosity, and collaboration.

There was nothing really challenging. We read a story and we had talked about different situations and learned different strategies. Chely is a great person to talk to! -From the 10 year old child

There were a little technical issues, but the session was good overall! We did a fun activity called Brain on Trial and we talked about what makes a good leader and how to have good leadership! -From the 10 year old child

On the session before this one, we had done a whiteboard about a situation that happened 2 weeks ago. She brought it back up and we did a new one on a different situation that had happened that week! It was interactive and fun! I liked that session a lot! -from the 10y old child

Chely used the Feelings Wheel and helped me know how to identify and stop a negative feeling before it happens. We also played a fun Get To Know Each Other game where we would choose different color coded slips of paper with a designated category assigned to each color and with those questions, we got to know more about each other! (From Greyson! 😁)

Chely was very down to earth and friendly, she gathered a lot of information from both myself and my son to map out a plan. There was no judgement at all. I'm really looking forward to seeing Greyson work through things and develop emotional regulation and resilience.

My daughter is very comfortable talking in these sessions. She is open with Chely and likes how kind she is. We plan to try some of the techniques provided this week until our next appointment.

Chely was professional and very easy to talk to. She was friendly and patient with my daughter who took a few minutes to open up. After the call my daughter was comfortable and is looking forward to the next session.

The session was really helpful because it helped my daughter better understand her values and think more clearly about what she wants her future to look like.
