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.

She has been very reliable during my time of crisis. I have felt lost and she is able to ground me after each session. I always feel better after the session.

Chiralaine is an amazing counsellor. I didn’t think I was looking for a new long term counsellor until being matched with her! She is incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable and is helping me to challenge my anxious mind:)

Chiralaine is a very kind, understanding therapist. She really tries to help me understand my emotions and feelings and is very attentive to details talked about in previous therapy sessions.

I had Thearpy session with her but in that one Thearpy she was great. She is very understanding and knowledgeable. She keeps checking up on me to see how I am doing through message. Extremely professional. Overall she is understanding and great!

Chiralaine has a very flexible approach to therapy, she does not use a “one size fits all” therapy approach with her patients. She is very knowledgeable and understanding of different cultures and how that might affect her patients. She’s a great listener and has a lot of experience in this field.
