If you’re someone who appreciates a little humor with your healing—or if you’ve ever wished therapy felt more like your favorite game—then welcome. You’ve just found your people.
I’m Celia (she/her), a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I like to think of therapy as the ultimate choose-your-own-adventure story. You’re the main character. I’m the companion at the crossroads, your wizard in the cave, offering a map, a flashlight, and probably a few well-timed jokes. You bring your questions, your feelings, your neurodivergent brilliance, or your existential dread— I’ll bring insight, warmth, and snacks for the road (okay, metaphorical snacks, but still). All parts of you are welcome here—especially the weird ones. Especially the tired ones. Especially the parts that haven’t had room to breathe until now.
Clients often describe my style as a mix of bubbly camp counselor and wise storytelling wizard—something like Luna Lovegood meets Uncle Iroh with a dash of Lizzo energy. I bring humor, creativity, and grounded compassion to the therapy room, along with structure when it’s needed. I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS with metaphor, narrative work, and playful reframing. I’m not here to “fix” you—I’m here to support your growth in a space that’s brave enough for honesty, soft enough for grief, and quirky enough for metaphorical dragon-slaying.
I work with kids, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity questions, psychosis, and all the tangled feelings that come with being human in a complex world. I specialize in helping neurodivergent folks—including those diagnosed later in life—develop tools, perspective, and self-compassion. I also support parents of neurodivergent kids who are trying to show up for their families while still honoring their own needs. Whether you’re masking, spiraling, shutting down, or rebooting, you don’t have to do it alone.
My clients are often deep feelers, perfectionists, overthinkers, or identity-seekers—people who’ve spent a lot of time trying to “keep it together” while feeling misunderstood, burnt out, or quietly lost underneath the surface. If you’ve ever felt like you were playing life on hard mode without a guidebook, I see you. We’ll work together to explore what matters most to you, where you’ve been stuck, and how to move forward in a way that feels sustainable.
In sessions, I pull from a wide mix of tools. ACT helps us connect to your values and increase psychological flexibility. CBT offers ways to notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns. DBT supports emotional regulation and relationship skills. IFS helps you get to know all the “parts” of yourself—yes, even the anxious gremlin that shows up at 3am. I also use narrative therapy, play therapy, and person-centered approaches to support creative problem-solving and emotional exploration in ways that feel natural to you.
Our work together might include exploring sensory overwhelm, building executive functioning skills, learning how to speak your needs with confidence (even to difficult people or dragons), or just untangling the ways your past is still showing up in the present. You don’t have to have a diagnosis or a perfectly articulated reason to come in. You just have to be open to showing up—and we’ll build from there.
When we work together, my hope is that you leave therapy with a stronger, clearer sense of who you are and how to care for yourself. That might mean gaining coping tools you can actually use IRL, learning to recognize and rewrite outdated inner narratives, or discovering how to set boundaries that feel both safe and doable. I’m passionate about identity and values work, self-efficacy, boundary-setting, and helping clients feel safe being themselves without shrinking or apologizing.
Therapy with me is about building insight, yes—but it’s also about building your capacity to choose what’s next. I want you to feel more grounded in your body, more confident in your communication, and more curious about your future. And I want you to know that you’re already enough—even if your brain says otherwise.
You don’t need to have your life figured out to start therapy. You don’t need the perfect words or a tidy backstory. If all you can do right now is show up and breathe, that’s more than enough. I believe therapy should feel like a soft landing—a space where your quirks, questions, and quiet strengths are all welcome. Whether you’re navigating a big life shift, working through emotional overwhelm, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, I’ll be here. Wizard hat on, snacks metaphorically packed, and ready to walk alongside you on this next chapter of your adventure.
