Maybe you're the person everyone relies on. You put others' needs before your own, struggle to say no, and find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or self-doubt. You may spend hours overthinking conversations, worrying about disappointing others, or wondering how to set healthy boundaries without feeling guilty. Or perhaps you're a parent watching your child struggle with big emotions, anxiety, or challenges coping with life's stressors. You want them to feel confident, understood, and equipped with the tools they need to navigate difficult situations. My name is Kaylee, and I am here to help.
Using a trauma-informed, collaborative approach, I help children, teens, and adults build coping skills, manage emotions, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and solution-focused techniques, I support clients in strengthening resilience, improving communication, and creating meaningful change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you or your child feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
