About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and have over 15 years of experience in the behavioral healthcare field. Over the years, I have served as a Mental Health Therapist, Child Welfare Supervisor, School Counselor, and Crisis Screener/Therapist.

I am experienced with the adults, adolescents, children and families who struggle with adjustment issues, depression, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, dual diagnosis, and chronic mental illness. Finally, I have been trained in a number of therapeutic evidenced-based practices that I use when working with clients; including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Stress Management/Mindfulness.

I believe in providing goal-directed treatment. This means that a goal or several goals are established after a thorough assessment. All treatment is then planned with the goal in mind and progress is made toward the goal in a time-efficient manner.

I use a collaborative approach and supportive stance when working with clients and clients tell me that I am easy for them to talk to. I assume you wish to begin therapy because you desire certain changes in your life. I will do my best to help you achieve your goals, but I cannot guarantee any particular results. You are likely to gain the most benefit from counseling if you are committed to the process and actively engage. You and I will agree upon a frequency that will work best for your needs.

I look forward to working with you.

Chiralaine listens and validates feelings. She helped me reach my goals

Written on Jan 02, 2026 after therapy with Chiralaine for 11 months on issues concerning relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes

She's great! I always feel better after talking to her. Chiralaine is a great listener.

Written on Oct 31, 2025 after therapy with Chiralaine for 9 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety

Chiralaine has been a great resource at a difficult time for me (particularly when we first started speaking on a regular basis - approximately weekly).

She appears to be a very empathetic listener, and she asks thoughtful questions that can often help me consider some perspectives and approaches to the situations I've described that I might not have otherwise considered or thought about. Her perspective has been very useful in my opinion.

I have been in therapy on and off since I was a little girl, roughly 30 years. Chiralaine is the first therapist that I feel really fits me and understands my style of communication and goals. I would recommend her a million times over.

Chiralaine is a great listener who really takes the time to let me vent. She is well prepared for each session and has a way of helping me get to conclusions by talking through things.

Written on Jun 23, 2025 after therapy with Chiralaine for 6 months on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, and grief

She is a very caring and professional therapist and her experience over multiple years shows brilliantly through her work with her clients.

She assesses and provides meaningful help and questions to guide you ln your healing journey
