“People have no idea that I’m really falling apart on the inside.”

“I feel like this world wasn’t built for me, and it’s so hard to figure out how to stay afloat.”

“I’m so overwhelmed all the time.”

 

I hear You, and I am Here For You.

I want you to understand that your struggles are real, and you are not alone. I hope to appreciate you and accompany you through this journey. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I am here to help figure out what tools are the best fit for your journey.

 
 

My Therapeutic Approach

 I take a strengths-based approach that focuses on understanding you. I am affirming of all identities, and I welcome any identity exploration. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable to be yourself. My goal is to support you with individualized approaches so that you can be fulfilled in your life.

To see if we are a good fit, you can email, call/text me, or fill out this form to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

 

More about me:

My name is Chloë. I’ve always been interested in mental health and social justice, but for a while I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in life. I worked in a restaurant for over 12 years, but I ultimately wanted to connect with people on a deeper level. I decided to finish up my undergraduate in Psychology at Colorado State University before pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bradley University. 

I love art, and I like to spend my free time painting, doing embroidery, or learning something new. In the summer, I love to get outside for some biking or paddleboarding. My partner and I also have two cats who love to curl up with us for a movie night in.

I can’t wait to get to know you.
