About Chanel
She draws from several therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Chanel pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and client-centered principles. Sessions typically involve learning tools, practicing new skills, and talking through difficult experiences.
Chanel has five years of experience working in both private practice and community mental health settings. That background has exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addiction, panic, obsessive thoughts, and more complex presentations. She says that those varied roles helped her become a flexible clinician who can adapt to different situations.
She believes the relationship between therapist and client is central to progress. Chanel emphasizes respectful, authentic connection and invites people to bring their whole selves into sessions. She also values tailoring therapy to each person’s values and life context rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.
Outside of work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, collecting rocks, and making up songs for her dog. Small personal quirks come up in sessions sometimes, which she uses to help normalize the everyday messiness of change and growth.
