Hi, I'm Kelly. I'm an action-oriented trauma therapist that helps people feel the way they would like to feel. If you are motivated and ready to make changes, your childhood was especially painful or you've experienced trauma, I am the therapist for you. I'm skilled in assisting adults ages 24+, who are experiencing challenges related to trauma and PTSD. I also assist with parenting guilt, anxiety, insomnia, grief as well as, phobias. I work with clients utilizing evidence-based therapies in hopes that they will feel better than they did when they walked through my door. 80% of how someone is experiencing the now is due to the past.

To be human is to feel great joy, as well as have times of pain. Sometimes along the way, we may need support to address and re-balance the difficult and joyful aspects of our daily life. I listen closely to the needs and experiences of each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal. I believe that each of us has the intrinsic capacity to recognize how to grow in a healthy way. My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate, inner resources that they can use to heal, grow, and thrive.

I am currently not accepting new clients at this time. So much of our daily life involves interactions and relationships with others. Often these relationships are affecting us more than we realize and may cause difficulties in the home, at work or socially. I am here to help couples and individuals understand how to better manage their challenges such as depression, anxiety, personal loss, infidelity, substance abuse, and self-esteem issues. As a relationship therapist, I am experienced and trained to focus on relational issues as well as the everyday struggles of the individual. I can only accept insurance for individuals.
