You've found an ally and someone who specializes in providing LGBTQ affirmative treatment to those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-binary, questioning or queer.

My teacher Brene Brown has said, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we will ever do." As a Psychologist with 35 + years in practice, I continue to study discoveries in neuroscience and human behavior, and while I'm glad of that, what I know is that counseling is about talking through the hard stuff - shame, blame, fear, anger, criticism, grief, forgiveness, and all the rest. Tell me your story in all of its messiness, and let's figure out what's to be done about it. I welcome adults 18 and up struggling with most of what life dishes up. I promise to be candid and compassionate.

Hi! I’m Kelly, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist - Supervisor, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and the founder of Bloom Counseling & Nutrition. With a foundation in Health at Every Size (HAES) principles, I provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals seeking eating disorder treatment and/or holistic health support.​ Entering therapy requires great courage. My intention is to support you in your journey of making peace with food, body, movement, and self as you learn to trust your inherent body wisdom through attunement and somatic connection.

My approach begins with the belief that the human experience is to know both joy and pain, & every variation of emotion in-between, often in the same moment. I believe that which has been wounded in relationship must be healed in relationship. In order for your true self to emerge it must be witnessed. Just as our deepest glory must be held, so too must our wounds. In these places we will engage a posture of curiosity of how those wounds have impacted your style of relating and the ways you have had to adapt to cope.

If you are struggling with difficult emotions, you are not alone or broken. You may have also asked yourself, “Who am I?” & “What do I want from life?” Or, perhaps you wrestle with other existential concerns. There is something within you that longs to be expressed; yet this is the part of you that is often hidden beneath your surface. Emotional wounds need to be opened in order to heal and vulnerabilities explored to promote growth and increased satisfaction. I can help you connect to this inner part of yourself to foster healing, growth, and fulfillment by providing a safe, supportive space in which we can explore your concerns.

My ideal client wants freedom from something. And maybe they know that freedom comes with hard truths and possibly having to feel more, but they are willing to look in and take a peak with a little help from me and as slow or fast as you want to go.

And I wish someone had told me a long time ago, that the bravest of humans are holding all the hard feelings too: fear, nervousness, anxiousness, sleeplessness, insecurity, etc. But boy are they absolutely beautiful. Let us discover the unknown together.

As a practitioner, I use many modalities to help find and maximize internal joy. The path to fulfillment can be murky and heavy. Old, buried wounds often need to resurface and be acknowledged. It is my passion to walk the winding journey with women, help peel back the layers, and unveil the strong, wild woman within. Besides my therapy license, I also have a doctorate in the Ministry of Engaged Wisdom where I studied cosmology, native traditions, consciousness, meditation, archetypes, Eastern religions, and enneagram personality typing, and I like to bring whatever feels relevant for the client into my practice.
