ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Chelsea. ​Getting to sit with people in hardships and pain and point them to healing and hope is a profound honor and I feel privileged to do this work.

My own story includes the help of a wonderful therapist so I feel passionate about the freedom, healing, and wholeness that can come through a wise, Christ-centered counselor. ​

I grew up in Indiana and am a proud Hoosier who tries to still exude Midwest hospitality. I attended Indiana University for my undergraduate studies and law school and am beyond ecstatic that we now are a football school! ​I moved to Colorado in 2018 chasing a love of mountains and furthering my ambitions as a lawyer. I spent nearly a decade practicing law before switching careers to be a therapist. During my years practicing law, I worked for a Fortune 500 company, a start-up company, and two prestigious law firms. I know first-hand the stress and identity issues that come with high performing careers and love working with professionals who often feel like touchy-feely therapists won't be helpful.​

I also know first-hand what wrestling with God feels like. I have wrestled through my own story - the disappointments and the blessings, and I know deeply that healing comes when we're honest with the pain. Pain is what led to my career change, but really I think God used it to redirect me. Going back to grad school was not on my bucket list, but here we are. I earned my Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Prior to opening Resilient Hope Christian Counseling, I worked in a private practice center focused on couples and families, and a larger practice serving children, adults, and couples.​

When I'm not working, I love adventuring in the mountains, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
