While relationships are my passion, I also strive to recognize each human within the relationship; as such, many areas I work in apply to both couples and individuals. My specialties are emotional & sexual intimacy, rebuilding trust, cultural blending, self-esteem, and communication. Growth occurs most successfully when there is a willingness to self-reflect, be curious, be open to challenge & change, and consistently work between sessions. My goal is for my clients to build the necessary skills to approach difficulties on their own - rather than rely on therapy indefinitely.

Sometimes life brings challenges that are difficult to manage on our own. Maybe you are experiencing a major life transition – a move, marriage, a baby, new job, a medical issue, divorce, retirement. Even "happy" transitions can be difficult. You may want change in your relationship or help determining whether it can be repaired. Perhaps you are dealing with grief from a loss or need support as you navigate having a partner or loved one dealing with addiction. I work with individuals and couples with a wide range of concerns including trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, personal growth, life adjustments.

As a registered play therapist, I utilize child- centered play therapy. This is an effective approach that allows children to process challenges and communicate using their natural language of play. Play therapy is a process in which children are given the opportunity to work through past or current difficulties. I utilize techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with adolescents and adults to help individuals address current thought patterns and develop positive coping skills. In addition to training and experience in a variety of therapeutic treatment modalities, I draw from my training as a certified yoga teacher.

Seeking help is the first step towards feeling better. Regardless of why you are seeking help, the most important thing right now is that you are making the choice to do so. Focusing on what we can control (instead of what is beyond our control) is often a key element to working through difficult life circumstances. Together, we can work on learning and developing skills that can help you improve the quality of your life. My main focus during therapy will be to help you lead a more fulfilling life by working with you collaboratively to achieve your goals.

Hi there, I'm Kelly. I know that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy, and I strive to meet my clients where they are at. I use strength-based, egalitarian, and person-centered approaches and believe in the major importance of creating a safe and shared space in which everyone can feel open to explore all aspects of themselves. Being vulnerable is not easy, and I acknowledge the strength and guts it takes to make that first step toward change.

I offer a therapeutic space that is queer-affirming, culturally responsive, and liberation-centered. As a therapist, I create a curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for those who are ready to explore themselves and their experiences through a relational lens. Together, we will explore and model what secure attachment and safe relationships feel like within the therapeutic space - toward ourselves, our experiences, our communities, our ancestors, and the natural/spiritual world.

Women experience many unique stressors. We face outside pressures from society, family, and friends about how we should act, look, or feel. Are you are in a crisis situation, going through a separation/divorce, struggling with the demands of school, peer pressure, parenting and/or step parenting? Do you feel like you don't have the strength to handle it all or that you have lost yourself in the process.

Mental health clinicians, who must be educated with masters degrees and above, do not have enough employment options that enable them to pursue private practice without having to endure the administrative nightmare that comes with it. Running a practice requires scheduling, billing and collections, marketing, websites, accounting, medical records requests, and much more. In addition, a clinician has to be mindful of HIPAA laws, ethical issues, legal issues, etc. And if they are enterprising enough to accept their client’s health insurance, there would be no time left to see actual clients. The public does not have enough affordable options for obtaining mental health services. There is a large gap between government sponsored community programs and increasingly expensive private programs that we wanted to bridge. So we decided to form a group of talented mental health clinicians and an experienced administrative staff to support them. Now the clinicians can focus on what they do best, and we are able to offer quality services to our clients using their insurance benefits!
