Hi, I am Kelly. I'm an action-oriented trauma therapist that helps people feel the way they would like to feel.

Over thinking, over-doing, overwhelmed? Is doing too much leaving you feeling stressed, trapped, and frustrated? If so, you may in turn have relationship dissatisfaction, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, and overall confusion about what choices to make or how to improve the situation. Despite this, you know you’re ready to start experiencing for yourself all that you give away to others. You’re ready to experience greater mental clarity, quality sleep, and contentment. You’re ready to feel more confident in navigating life’s stressors and your relationships. Let’s break this cycle and create your new way of living, by design.

My ideal client is the teen or adult that has had significant distress from emotional trauma, anxiety, mood and attentional disorders. Most clients have previously tried many types of therapies, including drug therapies, but continue to struggle. By addressing brain function with neurofeedback in addition to therapy, I have had over 90% success helping my clients to overcome or manage their emotional/mental health challenges.

I am an integrative psychotherapist who grounds my practice in trauma-informed, narrative, and critical consciousness frameworks. I have experience and training in mindfulness, trauma-focused CBT, child and adolescent trauma, IFS, and EMDR therapy. I have also completed population-specific trainings relating to gender, sexuality, racism and oppression.  I seek to challenge dominant narratives which negatively impact the ways people come to see themselves, understanding that many mental health challenges are deeply tied to the social, environmental, and political contexts in which they occur.

As a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, I specialize in: Providing neuropsychological assessment and cognitive rehabilitation to individuals with acquired brain injuries such as stroke, TBI, and concussions; Assessment and diagnosis of ADHD in adults 18+ for work/school accommodations; Capacity evaluations for guardianship, advanced directives, and financial/medical POA.

Relationships. We never really explicitly learn how to "do" this whole relationship thing, at least not in school. Are there rules for relationships? How about guidelines to help guide us? We know about general advice like when your aunt sits you down at the family reunion reminding you to just "be yourself," but how helpful are these generalities? If you're baffled, confused, frustrated, or simply wish you had a better relationship, you're not alone. In fact, you're part of the majority. And based on neuroscience, attachment theory, and ancient wisdom, you can improve and experience a better relationship.

I continue to derive immense satisfaction from becoming a psychologist and exploring many paths and points of view about the nature of "reality", personally in my own work on myself and with others in psychotherapy (from physical/behavioral/external levels to non-physical/subjective/internal levels). People who have participated in psychotherapy with me often describe deriving value from increased awareness, insight and understanding about their past and present circumstances, both internal and external. These results have led to resolving external behavioral issues and increasing their level of internal satisfaction about their life experiences.

As your therapist, my goal is to work in collaboration with you, to uncover your true potential and provide the guidance to overcome the challenges you are facing. We will work together to better understand and resolve challenges in an environment of support and guidance. I will use a variety of treatment approaches in our work to help you address your issues and concerns.

Are unresolved feelings of trauma, pain, or loss clouding your days and nights? If you find yourself haunted by past experiences, doubting your worth, or losing sight of your dreams, you're not alone. Complex trauma or PTSD often manifests as long-term depression, anxiety, challenges in relationships, difficulty concentrating, and increased sensitivity. It's a heavy burden to carry, but there's hope. With the right support, you can find your way back to joy and reclaim your hope for the future.

Allow me to offer support as you strive to be happier in life's journeys. Together, we can untie your emotional knots by discovering new ideas and solutions.

Spend some time with me in a safe space and let's sort through the knots.

One of the most meaningful things you can do is to learn to treat yourself with kindness and compassion. It may seem simple, but bad relationships, traumatic experiences, and difficult life transitions have a way of changing how we think and feel about ourselves - usually for the worse. We too often find ourselves lost in the emotional pain, feeling unfulfilled in our lives and gradually losing hope that things can get better. But it doesn’t have to be that way! I want to help you feel connected with yourself again. To create those healthy boundaries. To feel unburdened from the depression/anxiety/anger. To heal. To grow.

I am a certified holistic yoga counselor. I approach my sessions through body awareness, meditation, mindfulness, and journaling. The body is a powerful, organic machine that comes with its own processes to heal the body, mind, and soul. I want my clients to reconnect with those bonds to re-establish stability of the internal and external workings of the self, utilizing eastern and western philosophies. Principles I use in sessions are Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga (eastern philosophy); Logotherapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and Humanistic Psychology (western philosophy).

I love to assist people in growing spiritually. I’m passionate about helping you discover who you are by supporting your self-discovery journey. You may feel overwhelmed by the demands of your career, relationship and other life challenges which can ultimately make it more difficult to feel hopeful in your day to day. With me, you will discover that there’s a way to rediscover your inner spark and joy. Are you interested in healing yourself, moving forward, and finding your true path?
