Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT)

Chelsea has a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. She is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT) with the Canadian Association of Couple and Family Therapy (CACFT).

Whether you are an individual, couple or family, Chelsea will offer evidence-based support from a systemic perspective believing that each person has the strength and skills to be successful in therapy and in life. Chelsea recognizes that sometimes we get stuck in ineffective strategies and unhelpful beliefs about ourselves and others that limit our growth and potential for connection. We fall into patterns of behavior in our relationships and lives that may be holding us back from achieving fulfillment. Chelsea will support you in exploring and deconstructing these beliefs to find new meaning and opportunity for greater understanding of ourselves and deeper more meaningful connection with those around us. With extensive training and supervision in systemic practice and couples counselling modalities, Chelsea looks beyond the induvial, understanding that we exist within complex systems that shape us and impact our responses and interactions. Utilizing a systemic approach supports meaningful and lasting change in ourselves, our families and relationships.

Chelsea has spent five years living overseas in Australia and Dubai and has travelled to 95+ countries bringing a unique cultural lens to her counselling work and first-hand experience integrating into a new culture. She has worked with non-profit services for at-risk youth and volunteered for youth and women’s organizations. As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist she brings a deep understanding of relational systems and the care and precision required for effective couples therapy.

Using an approach that is holistic and recognizes the mind-body connection, as well as being attachment based and trauma informed, Chelsea supports her clients with an authentic presence that is warm, active and caring. She works with Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and The Gottman Method among other modalities.
