Don't we all want to thrive and flourish and live our best life? I'm here to partner with you toward growth, healing, transformation, becoming your best self . . . Hello! My name is Kelly. I specialize in psychotherapy and counseling for adult individuals (age 21+). Most people seek therapy because of emotional distress, feeling stuck, or some variety of suffering. Psychological or mental pain can show up in our lives in many ways: feeling disconnected, lonely, not good enough, anxious, sad; struggling with perfectionism, unhealthy, hard-to-change patterns, relationship conflict, etc. "Symptoms" get in the way of living the life we really want. When we develop a loving relationship with self—with ongoing self-compassion—we can live a fuller, richer, more meaningful life. I partner with my clients toward healing and growth through 3 key processes: (1) deepening our understanding of self, (2) strengthening our ability to effectively connect with others, and (3) honoring the spiritual, the divine, the sacred. I see spirituality as an important aspect of the whole person, regardless of religion.

I evaluate and treat depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I discuss the treatment options with the client and then make a decision to treat the condition with medication, psychotherapy, or both.

My goals are long-term improvement of the client, so they can have an overall better quality of life.

You’re doing everything “right,” but it still feels like too much. Maybe you’re the dependable one, the achiever, the peacekeeper, the one holding it all together. Underneath that, you might be carrying anxiety, burnout, family pressure, or a deep sense of not knowing who you really are. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, complex trauma, ADHD, or just getting to know yourself better, I offer a space where you can pause, breathe, and be seen.

Sometimes we seek to be heard without judgment. Maybe we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult. Sometimes our greatest goal is to be a better version of ourselves. Whatever the need, therapy provides opportunities for expression, healing, and growth. I have seen change happen when clients discover their strengths, gifts, and new paths toward peaceful, dynamic, and joyful living. One of the most important factors in cultivating change and a successful therapeutic process is a genuine connection between the client and the therapist. I value my relationship with each of my clients and attempt to foster an atmosphere of safety and trust, allowing them to feel comfortable exploring their relationships and life experiences. I help my clients recognize and voice their desires, feelings, and needs by bringing thoughtfulness, authenticity, and a sense of humor to the therapeutic process. I have a collaborative therapeutic style, and I primarily work from a Person-Centered Approach. At times, I implement techniques based on Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Bibliotherapy to facilitate deeper, more personal, exploratory work. I welcome people of all kinds, including those who identify as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+.

Whether you've had a long history of destructive relationships or this is the first time you’re having issues, I can help you turn your relationship(s) around and improve your level of life peace and joy! I work with couples where there has been aggressiveness and or infidelity. Domestic violence and emotional abuse in relationships have long been my specialty. I am certifying in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, two evidence-based couples therapies. (And I still take insurance!) I work with individual older adolescents and adults, couples, and various types of family units, including throuples, polyamorous, and open relationships. I have a knack for helping those who work in the sex industry. I’m LGBTQIA+ friendly. I understand and am comfortable working with the complexities of modern relationships. I teach a highly effective and engaging Emotional Regulation program for those on the under-regulated side of the emotional spectrum (e.g., anger, anxiety, etc., outside of the bounds you're comfortable with). For those on the over-controlled side of the spectrum regarding their emotions, I offer RO-DBT therapy (e.g., Autism spectrum, Anorexia, OCD), amongst other therapies. I can also provide CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy). CPT is an evidence-based treatment specifically for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). EMDR is highly effective for trauma, too, and it is perfect for certain types of people, such as those for whom cognitive therapy is less effective. Credentials: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).
