I have worked in private practice and school settings for over 20 years, applying cognitive-behavioral principles and social-emotional skill building to support adults, teens, and tweens through symptoms of anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, stress management, life transitions, self doubt, inflexibility, and somatic concerns.
Counseling can be a responsive process, as clients receive support and work toward an understanding of how present-day concerns may relate to past experiences. It can also be a preventive process, allowing clients to clarify and build on their own internal strengths that promote balance, wellness, and resiliency. My treatment approach is both cognitive-behavioral (focused on the links between events, thoughts, feelings, and actions) and psychoeducational (promoting the building of social and emotional skills). From a foundation of self awareness, we can collaborate to expand your coping strategies and improve your relationships.

My nonjudgmental approach is supportive yet honest in helping you find acceptance, resolve and inner peace.

I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

Adulting can be tough. Neurodivergence, anxiety & depression, and the ongoing state of the world can make day-to-day functioning feel overwhelming and exhausting. As a therapist I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, autism, and anxiety to identify their own personal values and take steps towards crafting a life that meets their needs. Using aspects of CBT, ACT and mindfulness-based practices I can help you to build on your strengths to overcome challenges with executive dysfunction and emotional regulation in order to live the life you want.

As someone who is LGBTQIA+ and grew up in a conservative community, I know how living inauthentically can impact you. Pleasing others at the expense of yourself can have some challenging and long-term consequences. What starts as suppressing your emotions ends up as ongoing depression and anxiety as you continually make choices to minimize conflict rather than truly meet your own needs. While the path forward can feel confusing, there is hope for finding a sense of clarity and relief, and awakening to a life that you genuinely want to engage with and thrive in.

Life gets really hard these days. There is so much stress and there are so many expectations to deal with. From having perfect children to being the perfect parent, some days it is all too much. And it feels impossible. The weight of our own guilt, anxiety, or depression that stems from not feeling adequate, or from family difficulties can leave us drained. As a parent and an LMHC with years of experience working with children and adults with any number of behavioral or mental health needs, believe me, I get it. I can help you thrive.

I specialize in eating disorder, body image, self-esteem, relationships, depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, family conflict, and general adolescent issues.
The biggest compliment clients have given me is: "Kelly, you're not a typical therapist and that is so refreshing!" I am somewhat unique in my approach offering a combination of coaching, motivating, problem-solving, and goal formation. I tend to see myself as a guide (or passenger) while the client takes the driver's seat – together, we look at the map and find the most productive route to take towards the destination. I tend to have a lot of energy and am extremely active in and out of the therapy session.

I have extensive training and experience supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, issues relates to gender identity and difficulties adjusting to life’s transitions.
You’ve reached a point where it has become too difficult to manage all the worry, sadness, and the stress alone. Maybe you've been trying to adjust to recent transitions such as dislocation, divorce, career decisions, becoming a parent, starting college, or health issues. You might have tried strategies to cope but you feel stuck in the same patterns and they are impacting your ability to find joy in your relationships and life. You are ready for a change and decided it’s time to seek a supportive space to process the challenges you’ve been experiencing.
