Welcome!! I’m Kellie! Beginning therapy is often the first step to a needed chance in our lives. Congratulations on taking that step! My goal is to provide comfort, guidance, and support to those who may feel overwhelmed by life stressors. There are many things and factors that may contribute to us not feeling or showing up as our best selves. Together, we can identify those experiences and begin to work on creating more balance. With your input, we will identify the best approach to help heal your mind, body and spirit! In my experience, once we begin to adjust our thoughts, the rest of the body follows. You may be dealing with anxiety, periods of depression, life stressors, or family cycles that seem difficult to break. Whatever the case may be, I’m here to help! With a positive approach and your willingness, it is possible to change your future! My goal is to not only help you learn to cope, but to heal the parts of you that you consider to be broken.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will get to know each other and begin to address your goals as far what you would like to achieve during therapy. We will then begin to identify the thoughts and experiences that have lead to what you consider as problematic for you. From there we will begin to refocus and develop a new perspective.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I understand that everyone is different and may benefit from different approaches. My primary treatment modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing as well as Solution Focused Therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I feel that my biggest strength is helping individuals identify the root of the thoughts and experiences that have lead to negative cycles. Often times, we know what we want to change but need a little help with identifying what lead to these things in the first place. I like to focus on childhood and early adulthood experiences and relationships to help achieve this goal.
