About me

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal dynamics with compassionate, personalized care.

I offer a welcoming, affirming therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and identities. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those experiencing life transitions, workplace stress, and relationship complexities.

Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I focus on empowering clients to develop self-love, improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and rediscover personal purpose. Whether you're struggling with grief, relationship issues, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices to help you build resilience, process challenging emotions, and create meaningful personal growth. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am dedicated to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for healing.

Kelly is wonderful at genuinely listening and giving the feedback I am needing. She's very easy to share with, and wonderful at giving her input in a very understanding and applicable way.

I have only had one session with Kelly. The meeting was moved a time or two but she was prompt and professional in looking for an alternate time to meet. She is warm, caring, informative, and a good listener. I hope to continue having such positive sessions with Kelly.

Kelly is a bright and passionate therapist, she is excellent at explaining feelings and thoughts so I can process them better. She is understanding of my rollercoaster journey and has been patient through it all. I feel very safe speaking with her and she’s really helped me throughout my recovery.
