Over the years my team and I have helped individuals and couples through many life stages find meaning and direction. By providing feedback and reflections with kindness, sensitivity and humor, we built good psychotherapeutic relationships with respect and trust. You too can find safety and comfort during our time together in order to maximize your growth, and work toward feelings of well-being and satisfaction. Since no one person is the same, there is no one way to do psychotherapy. Your individuality will always be respected as we are sensitive to your culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and family background.

Are you struggling with difficult family dynamics or a lack of support from your environment? Are you finding that the tools that you have turned to cope, like substance use and avoidance, has taken hold of your life? Are you feeling exhausted or constrained by treatment that sees your experience as a disease and dispenses formulaic solutions? You are not your symptoms and you deserve care from someone who wants to join you, sees you as the multi-layered complex person you are and supports your vision of healing in mind.

I understand the complexities of things like balancing a family, kids, owning/running a business, managing employees all while trying to create a life that brings you happiness and fulfillment.
Finding the right fit for a therapist is so important. You want someone you can trust, open up to about things you would never tell family or friends, and someone who can offer you some useful strategies and feedback. I am an interactive therapist. This means, I will not just sit there and have you talk for 50 minutes without any interactive feedback. Being an interactive therapist, we are having a conversation so there is give and take. I will ask you questions and perspective about what is going on for you that maybe you didn’t think about before. Collaboration is huge! I am not the expert on you. You are.

As Executive Director of the Southfield Center for Development, I formed this interdisciplinary, collaborative practice of over 30 clinicians due to my strong belief that children and families are best served when they have access to clinicians who understand the individual issues of the client in the broader context of their family and community.
With over 25 years of experience as a psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults, I have learned that a comfortable and honest relationship is the key to a successful outcome. I strive to create an environment that allows clients to feel safe in addressing their challenges and goals. I have extensive experience as a developmental psychologist, and I consider any intervention in the context of the client's broader environment. While I have extensive training in several clinical methods, my work draws most from research in cognitive behavior therapy and family systems.

Welcome! I'm Kelly, a certified professional life coach with a gentle, strengths-based approach. I help women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community break cycles of dysfunction and self-sacrifice to finally claim the lives they need. My coaching philosophy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and incorporates concepts borrowed from Internal Family Systems, Co-Active Coaching, and somatic work. While the work we do together is not psychotherapy (my role is not to diagnose or treat mental illness), the pace and rhythm of my coaching sessions are very similar to what you would experience in a therapist’s office.

I also work with children in play therapy, where I am equipped to help children process emotional difficulties, complex family dynamics, and environmental changes.
I approach our work through deep listening and attention to your singular experience. You may be coming to seek relief from troubling thoughts, difficulties in relating to others, or physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. I facilitate an unfolding process where you can give voice to your conflicts, relationships, desires, and memories, sometimes for the first time. Together, we can find insight where you feel stuck and find relief where you feel pain.

I’m also interested in supporting those facing challenges regarding family dynamics, role transitions, creative blocks, dissatisfaction and regret.
I believe that therapy is a transformative experience that can increase self-awareness, self-knowledge and self-compassion. Through an open, curious, supportive partnership, we will explore and deepen your understanding of your relationships and history and how these may be impacting your life now. Our process can help you make more informed decisions about how you want to move forward in your life or help you find peace in remaining where you’re at. I offer a non-judgmental space where all thoughts, feelings, fears and desires can be explored and processed.

We’ll take a collaborative approach, including reflection on intersectional identities, family of origin and power structures.
Are you an overachiever feeling “not good enough” at work or in your relationships? Do you say yes to others even when you really want to say no? Perhaps on the outside, no one even notices that you’re hurting. Are you experiencing loss and feel challenged by people’s insistence that they “know how you feel” and advice to “stay strong” and “look on the bright side”? Grief is agonizing, surprising, and often lonely. Are you LGB, queer, trans/NB/GNC and looking for a therapist who "gets it"? Do you have a child or teen who recently came out as gay, lesbian, bi, queer or trans? You're not alone, and I’m so glad that you found my page!

Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
