About me

Hello, I'm Kelly! Are you feeling stretched in a million directions, overwhelmed, and unable to fit everything in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help people manage anxiety and depression. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. Let's grow together!

Get to know me

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

During the initial session, I briefly start with introductions, followed by discussions of client rights. If the client fully understands their rights and give consent to treatment, I then provide them with the space to discuss what brings them in to therapy. During this time, my clients can expect to receive respect, empathy, genuineness, and honesty throughout the session so that they feel comfortable with openly exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe that my greatest strength as a provider is my ability to establish a professional and mutually respectful relationship with my client(s). This is vitally important and necessary as it allows for effective and meaningful outcomes. Throughout the therapeutic relationship, I work closely with my clients to build rapport so that they feel comfortable in exploring areas that are important to them, not me. I remain cognizant of their needs and desires and assist them in developing treatment goals that are S.M.A.R.T, and consistent with projected outcomes, all while monitoring their progress and making adjustments as needed. It's their journey! I simply get the pleasure of witnessing them become better versions of themselves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with a variety of people from ages 13 and up who are struggling in life. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their issues.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My primary treatment approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy. We will explore cognitive and behavioral patterns that have become problematic. Cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation strategies will be utilized to promote your emotional wellness and life satisfaction. Although Cognitive Behavior Therapy is the modality I most often pull from, I'll also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and mindfulness exercises on a regular basis.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

As a licensed professional, I integrate various treatment modalities that are tailored specifically for each of my clients individual needs. My approach is person-centered, meaning I work collaboratively with you to empower and assist you in gaining insight through a balance of acceptance and personal growth.

Compassion Focused

Respect, empathy, genuineness, compassion, and honesty- along with humor- are offered in my sessions so that you feel comfortable with openly exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Not matter the needs or circumstances, I can assure you that I will provide a safe and confidential environment for you.
