Do you feel like something is holding you back? Getting in your way? Many people run into barriers- barriers that keep them from achieving their goals, get in the way of their relationships, or keep them from moving on. These barriers can look like anxiety, depression, trauma, communication patterns, etc. This is where I can help! I have worked with crisis services and trauma survivors my whole career; and trauma can look different for everyone! I enjoy nothing more than helping clients identify the barriers that are holding them back; constructing a plan to break it down and take steps towards doing so.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I’ll introduce myself- ask some follow up questions… and then we’ll switch to what would be helpful. 3 months, 6 months, a year from now, what would progress look like?

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Crisis work and trauma are my go-tos clinically. I enjoy and have passion for people who need help in the moment- when things hit the fan. Trauma is relative though, so the death of a spouse may be 'her trauma' but a toxic relationship could be 'his'. I love being able to help pivot people into a healthier state and would love to help you!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Young adults, Individuals with complex family issues, trauma survivors. Highly motivated individuals who are ready for change.

Kelly has been thoughtful and understanding so far into our sessions. Dedicated to being sure she is the right match for you and helping you find the right fit if she’s not. You can tell she loves her job and truly cares about her clientele. Very forward with her thinking and opinions, straight to the point. I’m excited to have found someone who fits my needs.
