EMDR Therapy Intensives
for Anxiety & Trauma
in Pennsylvania
Come home to your own heart.
Release the shame, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and walls that just keep getting in the way.
Are you ready for love & closeness to feel safe?
Tell me if this sounds like you.
Instead of presence with your partner, your friends, or within your community, your mind puts up a wall of overwhelm or sometimes blankness that separates you from them.
Your mind often gets stuck recycling long-held worry that you are doing something wrong, the fear that you are bad, or the dread that you are actually not possible to love.
You have unfortunately been very convinced of the idea that you don’t belong anywhere, that you don’t have a place in this world. Sometimes you don’t even know where your mind is, if it’s not on any of those things.
As much as your mind cycles through fear, shame, and distrust, you have to admit — you do want to genuinely connect and be present with others.
You’ve gotten pretty far alone. And you’ve perhaps gotten help from others before. But this time, you want help that affirms that the problem isn’t wholly your fault and balances that with the responsibility and power you do have over your own life.
While you know people have profoundly hurt you and that this world is a flawed one, you know that you are ultimately where doing justice to yourself begins.
There is a part of you deep down that knows now is the time to own who you are, authentically love and care for every part of you, set strong boundaries, hold the right people close, and take up space. This part of you also knows that, this far into your life, you simply cannot afford wasting any more of your time alive dishonoring your story.
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
You deserve a steady witness and support.
Hello, I’m Chelsea (she/her)
I am devoted to helping people who have experienced trauma in their close relationships & people who live with the chronic stress of racialization rediscover their worth.
My place in my clients’ process is in helping them reconnect with their inherent reserves of power and energy.
I integrate the bottom-up therapeutic modalities of EMDR, Somatic Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic work in a person-to-person, down to earth, and realistic way.
I believe that at the bottom of so many expressions of psychological dysfunction is a troubled capacity for love and attachment.
I believe the human capacity to receive and give love is a central capacity to retaining sanity and well-being in times of unprecedented instability.
I love sparking visceral change at the root of my clients’ smallest and biggest personal experiences.
