Insight-oriented, heart-centered healing for mind+body+spirit. Whether you're a human who's struggling with anxiety, exhausted by people-pleasing, highly sensitive, neurodivergent, an empath, or just a human seeking more compassion and connection, I'm glad you're here. I'm Kelsey, and I'm here because I truly believe in the power we each have as humans to heal and find wholeness. Together we can explore the experiences and contexts that have made you into who you are, how to be kind to yourself through any situation, how to regulate your body and mind, and what helps you feel connected to yourself, others, and the world around us.

Please Note: The only type of OHP that I am able to take is CareOregon. If you are struggling with the impacts of trauma, abuse, or loss (no matter how far in the past), there is hope. Using a trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to counseling, we will create a safe space for collaborative work and healing. We can also use mindfulness, somatic, and creative therapies if you feel drawn to that kind of work. I have particular experience working with people who have been impacted by sexual trauma; PTSD that feels out of control; family/relationship issues; attachment wounding; and significant loss.

We all deserve a space where we can be seen, heard, accepted, and valued. My goal as a therapist is to provide a counseling environment characterized by compassion and unconditional positive regard where together we can meet you authentically for who you are, right where you are, wherever that is. Whether you are coming to therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, or something else, I believe in a collaborative journey that provides a space for you to be, explore, grow, and heal.

>Now accepting new clients!< You matter. And simply because you exist, you belong. This can be difficult to believe though if you have felt marginalized due to your neurodiversity, sexuality, or gender. I’m interested in exploring the marginalization you feel and helping you to find a sense of belonging in the world and in yourself. I want you to feel seen, heard, and understood. We might explore creatively through dreams, meditation, archetypes, enneagram type, or through somatic awareness.

If you’re reading this, we already know you’re struggling. Maybe you’re having trouble “adulting”. You’re feeling like everyone else seems to have it all together, why can’t you? Your mental health is getting worse and worse, and you just want it to stop. Your day to day life is chaos and worry and you remember better days when things just weren't like this. You might feel like you’re out of control of your life.

My goal is to facilitate personal growth and insight for individuals seeking change and meaning in their lives. I focus on aiding clients on their journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and healing. It is important that I provide a safe space, void of any judgment, where individuals can feel secure and supported in their expressions of feelings, thoughts, and reactions. I welcome clients of any and all identities, beliefs, and backgrounds.

I operate from a person-centered perspective in working with clients. What this means is that I believe that you have both the skills and the potential for change in order to move towards achieving your goals. It also means that in our work together it is my responsibility to meet your experiences and authentic self with warmth, acceptance, and empathy. We endeavor to truly know and understand your personal history, your life right now, how you view the world, and how all of those elements together inform your personal goals and wishes.

Have you lost your way? Are you confused or stuck? Do you believe you feel too much or not enough? Have things stopped making sense or lost their meaning for you? Are you carrying baggage from your past, unable to transform it or let it go? Are you undergoing big changes and feel worried or afraid? Is your inner dialogue harsh and critical? Are you afraid to trust yourself and others? Do you feel isolated, unconnected and lonely? Life is filled with challenges and situations that overwhelm us. Our emotional lives can become confusing, and our experiences can trap us into patterns of beliefs and behaviors that diminish our powers.

Let's work together to help you thrive. Maybe your relationships are unsatisfying, you feel depressed or anxious, or you feel like you don't have much purpose. It would be an honor to help you. I engage with clients to create meaning in their lives, to improve their partnerships and friendships, and to improve their sense of connection with themselves, with others, and with the universe. It would be a privilege of offering understanding and support to you and to explore how healing trauma, creating community, deepening mindfulness, and finding peace can revolutionize your wellbeing. I work with individuals and couples.

You can overcome anxiety and past difficult experiences, including the results of trauma. Often anxiety gets in the way of engaging with relationships or our careers in the way that we want to. Past traumas may come to surface when we find ourselves feeling guarded, overwhelmed, or reliving our childhood experiences, even when we don't want to. If you're seeking a sense of empowerment for your life and tools for managing anxiety or trauma, you've come to the right place.

I am accepting new clients. And I see couples and individuals who come to me for many reasons: frustration, sadness, grief, worry, irritability, responses from past trauma (such as nightmares, startle response, and flashbacks) and struggling to get along even though they really love their partner. Individuals who work with me have numerous unique needs and goals and the same is true for couples. But overall, people want inner freedom which opens their horizons and also grounds them in love, harmony and peace. People want to live in the present and have optimism about their future and feel connected to their loved ones.

Hi there, welcome to a therapy journey that honors all parts of your experience – your stories, your struggles, your strengths, and your dreams. I'm here to walk alongside you as you explore the unique tapestry of your identities, embracing all the beautiful, messy, and complex parts of who you are. Folks I'm passionate about working with include those who paint with their own palette: LBBTQIA+, consensually nonmonogamous, kinky, sex workers, neurodivergent, seeking your own flavor of meaning/spirituality. If you don't see yourself in those descriptions, you are welcome too!

As an ex-evangelical queer person, I am passionate about partnering with LGBTQIA+ adults to help them live authentic and fulfilling sexual, relational, and spiritual lives through sex and relationship therapy. Client issues include but are not limited to navigating non-affirming relationships, sexual concerns and "dysfunctions," and breakdowns in communication or values conflicts. I collaborate with my clients to increase self-understanding, foster agency, clarify self-defined values, build communication skills, increase emotional well-being in relationships, heal from religious trauma, and explore spirituality.

You’re trying your best to hold it all together but right now you feel exhausted, overwhelmed and stuck. You are struggling to find meaning and unsure of what to do next. You’ve done everything you “should” be doing but your life isn’t unfolding in the way that you hoped it would. You feel unmotivated, disengaged from life, unsatisfied, uninspired and inhibited. Perhaps you secretly wonder if you’re a bad person or if something is wrong with you. You’re not sure exactly why you feel this way. It doesn’t add up for you. To complicate things further, you beat yourself up for not feeling the way that you think you should.

As a trauma-informed, somatic, and relational therapist, I approach therapy with a lot of curiosity, gentleness, and eagerness to explore what is happening for clients in the present moment. I often encourage clients to check in with the sensations in their bodies and may highlight patterns I notice. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where clients can access and explore their emotions and experiences, enabling a deeper connection to themselves and others. I also like to bring (appropriate) humor into sessions. I believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is a key part of the process!
