Most of the people I work with approach me with conundrums that need to be fully understood: “I know what I’m feeling but I don’t know why”; “I keep finding myself in hurtful relationships and I want something different next time around”; “I’m tired of how I’m living and I’m afraid to change”; “I want to feel less lonely”; “I don’t like myself”; “The people I am closest to don’t really know me.” They want to live brightly and with much aliveness, and value being known and attuned to as they work on changing shape.

HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY CAN HELP: Psychotherapy is powerful tool, one that I use to help individuals, couples and families in crisis, in stalemate or needing to change and grow. I have trained for more than 30 years to understand the social-emotional communications at the core of who we are. These subtle but important states become disturbed in illness but are also the vital life force of rewarding relationships and satisfying work. Accessing these in a therapeutic process can foster profound change. PRACTICE SPECIALIZATIONS: Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples, Parent Infant Therapy, MBT

Hi, Kelsey here. My therapeutic approach has always been eclectic but can best be summarized as person center approach. No one intervention works for all. For so many starting therapy is a journey that can also cause anxiety. I offer my clients a warm and supportive space. I am skilled at helping my clients towards making small steps towards larger goals and change. I utilize evidenced based approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma informed care. I come from a psychodynamic background, I also deeply believe change happens when sharing your story and life's experience.

Lately, it feels like you’ve been a little off, like you’re not quite yourself. You’ve lost that sense of direction and feel distant from the people around you. It’s like you’re starting to see yourself through what’s missing, leaving you unsure about what you really want. You’ve been hoping for some kind of magic fix, but nothing’s really shifted, and now you’re feeling stuck. The good news is, with the right support, you can get back on track and figure your way through this transition.

Feeling stuck? Need help finding your path? All changes, even positive ones, can disrupt our lives and force us to adjust to a new version of ourselves. Unwanted changes often bring a range of emotions—shock, grief, anxiety, sadness, denial, anger, guilt, and more. These feelings impact our thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being, affecting concentration, decision-making, eating, and sleeping. I help adults of all ages navigate life's transitions, such as adult children leaving or returning home, retirement, downsizing, chronic or life-altering medical conditions, and both death and non-death losses.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
