My Creative Story

Hello! I’m Chalice (she/her) and I’m originally from upstate New York. My creative journey began when I was 4 years old when my family would gather along with friends for my Envogue concerts in kitchen. I pursued music throughout my primary school years and with the support of my family, I was able to explore other creative abilities I possess via crafting, entrepreneurship and fashion just to name a few. I am grateful for the ways in which my creativity was nurtured as it gave me an opportunity to explore my imagination and build problem solving skills.

While I transitioned away from music when I began college, I later came to realize that curating experiences for people was and continues to be one of my favorite ways to be creative. Whether it is planning a party, creating affirmation cards, developing a workbook, etc., I am filled with so much zest and courage when an idea in my head becomes a tangible thing. It’s extremely special when my creative efforts positively impact on the lives of others. I guess you can see how becoming a counselor became a part of the journey!

Utilizing my creativity to give voice to my emotions has been an empowering journey and I hope to guide clients on honing into the superpower of creativity as well. Within the therapy room, you can expect for me to demonstrate a holistic, culturally competent, trauma informed lense that promotes the use of positive psychology and mindfulness techniques to support and foster growth. I trust that you are the expert of your own life and I strongly desire to work collaboratively with you to help you get the most out of this therapeutic experience.
