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 is great! I always feel better after having sessions with her. I’ve been talking to her for 2 weeks but I am able to talk to her freely about what’s going on with me and my anxiety.

She’s a very great listener, and doesn’t judge and responds to you like a friend

Down to earth and very insightful. Wouldn’t want anyone else to be my therapist

Chiralaine has been just what I needed! I was hoping to find a therapist that would listen, understand, and provide strong honest feedback and not just tell me what I want to hear. She is straightforward, very knowledgeable and has been tremendously helpful to me already after only just a few sessions. We jumped right into my issues at the start of our first session and she gave me great advise that made a huge difference in the anxiety I was dealing with. I really enjoy our conversations and appreciate her help. I will be honest I was not sure what to expect with the Better Help format but so far I’ve been very impressed and blown away. I am so thankful I found Better Help and even more thankful that I was matched with Chiralaine.

She lets me ramble when I need to just talk and get the poison out of my system, but also answers questions about psychology and other brain science. She never winds me up, only calms me, doesn’t judge me.
