With nine years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people build resilience, strengthen self-esteem, and develop practical coping strategies tailored to their circumstances.

She brings specific expertise in working with caregivers, those facing attachment or abandonment concerns, and people navigating adoption or foster care issues. Chantell also addresses a wide range of relational and life stressors, including communication and commitment problems, codependency, domestic violence, and the emotional impact of aging and caregiving roles.

Grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Chantell creates an empowering, culturally sensitive environment where clients explore personal strengths and process difficult experiences. She works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify goals, uncover patterns that contribute to emotional distress, and find pathways to meaningful change. Her practice emphasizes respect, compassion, and practical guidance as clients move toward healing and lasting growth.

Evidence-Based Care and Online Support

Chantell relies on trauma-focused, evidence-based approaches that help clients process painful events, reduce reactivity, and restore a sense of safety in relationships. These methods are tailored to the pace and needs of each person and are well suited to addressing trauma, abuse, and grief.

She also uses relationship and attachment-focused work to explore patterns in communication, trust, and connection. This approach supports couples and individuals dealing with commitment issues, codependency, or attachment concerns by helping them develop healthier interaction patterns and stronger emotional bonds.

Chantell approaches treatment collaboratively, working with clients to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they assess progress and adjust the plan as needed to find the most effective path forward.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care amid busy or changing lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible support while adapting to each client’s preferred way of communicating.
