I believe in my ability to recognize many underlying mechanisms that drive human behavior and have had success teaching practical psychology lessons to children, adolescents and adults.
Are you happy with the life that you're living? Would you like to be more confident while making a tough decision? The process of coming to understand yourself is an opportunity to recognize how individual strengths can be used to meet personal, professional, social or family goals. For those prepared to make changes, therapy can be the catalyst to personal growth and development. I'd like to work with individuals looking to better themselves. If you have questions or ideas that you would like to explore in therapy give me a call so we can schedule an appointment.

I use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and a variety of trauma informed therapies.
Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Sometimes we get trapped in the same patterns that give the same results and we become unmotivated. Having someone walk alongside us through these difficult times can be invaluable. My passion is to do just that. I specialize in helping people find clarity, balance, and solutions, while embracing individualism and even laughter/humor to promote healing. I help work through struggles such as life transitions, relational challenges, self-worth, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression. I aim for counseling to be a soft place to land no matter your background or current situation.

I have been in the behavioral health field for over 10 years, working with adults and adolescents experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.
All of us struggle sometimes- this is just part of being human! It is easy to feel overwhelmed when life isn’t going as planned. If you sometimes feel like your own worst critic, are feeling lost, or want to improve your self-confidence, you’ve already taken a step in a positive direction by seeking help. Learning to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings and being kinder to yourself will help you feel better, improve relationships, overcome past trauma, and empower you to make your life what you want it to be. Sometimes we need help to navigate our struggles, you don’t have to do it all alone.

Along the road, we all developed temporary tools to solve the problems in our lives. Unfortunately, we often forgot to stop using those tools, and they became "permanent." In the end, using the wrong tool to solve a problem does not make one's life better, only worse. In therapy, I work with adolescents and adults to re-tool and get more of what they want out of life. Let's get started!

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.

We totally get that starting therapy can feel intimidating which is why were giving therapy a modern makeover, making it cooler and more relatable than ever. Therapy is about understanding the self that you are and sometimes getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself. It's all about being real and feeling heard, exactly as you are in a space where you're free to be YOU. The greatest act of self-love is to no longer accept a life you are unhappy with. Happiness is not something you can chase. It is something you have to allow. If trauma can be passed down so can healing.

Relationships can be complicated! All of us need help navigating the rough waters of our relationships. Whether in marriage or parenting, with extended family, or friends and loved ones, we find ourselves hurt by the people we care about the most. And sometimes we hurt them back. That isn't who we really want to be, but we don't know another way. We're stuck in a cycle of anger and distancing. Conflict is inevitable. Thankfully, resolution of conflict is possible. We are created to have meaningful relationships and my aim in therapy is to help you learn how to have them.

I use a conversational therapy where the patient and therapist collaborate together to find solutions. I believe the patient knows best where they want to go, and I as a therapist help to clarify how to get there. It is my belief that though in a given moment there may be overwhelming, confused or just frustrated feelings, the human spirit and personal resources provide the tools to find meaning and growth.
