Chloe is passionate about working with college athletes around issues of perfectionism, navigating pressure, negative self-talk, and self-esteem. She also is passionate about providing care to LGBTQ+ youth looking to explore their self-identity. Chloe creates a warm, welcoming, and safe therapy space for everyone.

College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Many of the students I work with are navigating stress from classes, relationships, or big life transitions. Some feel stuck in patterns of anxiety or self-doubt while others are working through the impact of past experiences and want support as they move forward. In our sessions, I show up as a real person - curious, kind, and grounded. My goal is to create a space where you can talk honestly without judgment, and where you feel understood. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we’ll figure out what works best for you and move at a pace that feels manageable. I bring different approaches into our work together (CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or EMDR) that we can try depending on what you’re needing. For some people, that’s learning practical strategies to handle stress and anxiety. For others, it’s making sense of difficult experiences or building confidence to move through challenges. At the heart of it, I want you to feel more connected to yourself, more clear about what matters to you, and more capable of handling whatever college (and life) throws your way. If you’re interested in support, I encourage you to reach out. I’d be glad to connect and see how I can help.

As a Licensed Mental Health Clinician with over 16 years of experience, I help individuals identify and navigate through college stressors by exploring thought patterns and cycles that may be contributing to challenges with coping and managing emotions and symptoms. I use a strengths-based, CBT- and Motivational Interviewing-focused therapeutic approach. Some of my areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, parenting/life stressors, career ambivalence, relationship issues, self-esteem, cultural factors, college stressors, and transition. Is navigating through a life transition or relationship issue bringing up stress, anxiety, insecurities, or impacting your motivation? Is a new obstacle making school challenging? Are cultural expectations affecting your daily functioning, career goals, or desires? By understanding how these triggers can impact symptoms, we can break negative cycles and empower positive change.

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life stressors. Typically, the individuals I work with want to process past trauma and grief, strengthen interpersonal and communication skills, deepen their understanding of their own behavioral patterns, and increase their distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. I am fluent in Spanish and have experience and interest in working with latino/a/e first and second generation immigrants. I approach therapy with a variety of modalities, but I specialize in grief counseling and EMDR.

I work best with students who feel stressed, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the next steps in their life—whether that’s managing academic pressure, navigating relationships, or figuring out what comes after graduation. I help students make sense of their experiences, manage stress, and find practical ways to feel more balanced and confident. My sessions are supportive, and collaborative, giving you a space to be heard and explore what matters most to you.
