You might be here because you're looking for relief — from the weight of what happened or went unmet in the past, the pull of old patterns, or a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Perhaps you feel at the mercy of your own emotions, exhausted by cycles you can't seem to break, and feeling out of touch with yourself and others. Maybe it's a relentless feeling of perfectionism or of being worn down by hypervigilance and worry about what's going to happen next. I'm Kelly, and I work with individuals and LGBTQIA+ couples navigating relationship challenges, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and many other human experiences.
Together we work towards building emotional resilience — increasing your capacity to adapt to uncertainty and find balance within. Integrating IFS, EFT, somatics, contemplative and mindfulness-based approaches, the body begins to feel like a safe place, you experience more choice and agency, and you come to trust in yourself and your connections with others.
You don't have to have it all figured out. Reaching out is often the hardest part. I offer a free 20-minute intro call — a commitment-free chat to see if working together is a good fit. If it's not a fit, I'm happy to help you find someone that is.

I work with individuals and LGBTQIA couples to overcome cycles of disconnection, relational/attachment issues, reduce overwhelm and anxiety, and cultivate emotional resilience to life's adversities and uncertainties. I hold the complexities of your stories and identities with respect and acknowledge broader socio-political contexts shaping your experiences.

I draw upon Internal Family Systems, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy and mindfulness in my practice. We bring about change through embodied experience - slowing down and stretching out to explore the message and meaning underneath a thought, image, or bodily sensation. We challenge habit and evoke new, kinder ways to respond to discomfort and distress.
