Chloe specializes in the treatment of complex trauma. She works with adults of all ages who are looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and build lives that are more peaceful, joyful, and meaningful.
She holds a deep respect for the capacity of the human mind, body, and spirit to adapt in the face of trauma and attachment wounding and believes wholeheartedly in the natural human ability to heal, especially through becoming more safely connected with oneself and others.
Chloe’s style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she honors her clients’ strengths and wisdom. She helps her clients to make sense of their experiences and develop curiosity and compassion for their whole selves, even the parts they may not like or understand. Her approach is relational, and it prioritizes working with the effects of trauma in the present moment. The more she has studied mindfulness and somatic approaches to therapy, the deeper her commitment has grown for working with the wisdom of the body to support healing.
Chloe has had the privilege of working in social services and mental health for over a decade, including many years specializing in providing therapy to older adults and their caregivers. She received her Master’s from the University of Chicago, Crown School of Social Work in 2016. She joined CCIH after completing year one of the CCIH Advanced Clinical Training Program in 2022. She completed Level 1 Training for the Treatment of Trauma through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute in 2023.
