My Story
Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC).
I work with families and individuals on various matters including substance use, impulse control, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, communication &relationship difficulties etc.
I learned the definition of resilience at a very young age and even more importantly the value of positive support. We all need help to navigate life’s stressors and learn to find our strength within. Through my work as a therapist I aim to be present and provide the support you may need.
I am a firm believer that therapy is a different experience for each family or individual. I pull from different styles and cater to your needs and personality. My main goal, however, is to create a safe, non judgmental and empathetic environment practicing from a Rogerian client centered approach. I use a variety of evidence-based practices along with mindfulness techniques to work towards achieving your goals and assist you in living a healthier and happier life.

Chiara is awesome, I’ve only recently been meeting with her but I have been able to open up so much which is usually difficult. She provides a safe and welcoming presence and she genuinely cares to know how you are doing.
