Hi! I'm Kaylee. I'm a Licensed Social Worker with experience supporting adolescents and adults in private and community practice settings. My primary practice areas include self-injury, mood and anxiety disorders, and substance use. I also enjoy supporting clients navigating life transitions and relationship dynamics, as well as those pursuing a more value-aligned lifestyle. My therapeutic approach is holistic, strengths-based, and person-centered. I draw inspiration from many different treatment models (e.g., somatic or mind/body, cognitive-behavioral, integrated family systems) and apply them to best support clients’ unique goals.

The step to enter into counseling is a courageous one, it encompasses your willingness to connect, to be vulnerable, and to seek hope in healing. I see counseling as a way for clients to make change, to liberate one’s self from patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may not be serving you effectively. These patterns are often imposed by society, family, and ones' own culture and/or gender. Counseling is a space to help navigate all that comes with life’s changes. In practice, I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, infertility, postpartum, relationships, job change/loss, and other adjustment related stressors.
