My philosophy is that mental health is a necessary component of overall health and well-being. I take a holistic approach to therapy with the aim to provide support that encompasses the physical, social, emotional well-being of the client. Leading and encouraging with empathy and understanding, I listen and learn about the unique needs of the individual. After graduating with a masters in clinical counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I gained experience by accepting a diverse clientele including adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I have worked with clients impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration issues, and I am prepared to offer counseling services to these people and populations.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is caring and compassionate. She has been helping me heal and grow
Challis is arguably the best therapist I’ve worked with in my 20 years of therapy. She is sensitive but tough, kind but reasonable, makes you feel welcome but pulls no punches, and helps you believe in yourself. I am so grateful.
Challis is so good at what she does. She has helped me gradually explore the root of what I am feeling and why I am feeling that way. I am happy to go to therapy each week because I feel like I am heard.
Challis is the best.
