Feeling like life shouldn’t be this hard? Do you find yourself shutting down, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and carrying emotions that feel too big to manage? You're not alone, and you're not broken - these ways of coping often stem from painful past experiences, especially those where you felt unsafe, unseen, or unsupported. Therapy can be a space to gently untangle those patterns and reconnect with your sense of wholeness. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating the lasting impact of early or ongoing stress and want to better understand their emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

I also offer relationship therapy and help with communication challenges, emotional distance, trust issues, and navigating cultural/familial differences. I actively guide the conversation, ensuring both of you feel heard, and we'll wrap up on a note that helps you feel grounded before heading back into your world, with practical tools to use on your own.

I bring a collaborative, nonjudgmental stance to our work - one that’s grounded in empathy, curiosity, and care. We'll move at a pace that's comfortable for you, with compassion and respect for your lived experience. Together, we'll work to create safety, build emotional resilience, and foster meaningful, lasting change.

Kayla Hartman

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, AM, CTP

One thing that really stands out about Kelsee is her patient, calming presence. She is one of those people that can help people relax and regulate just by being around them. Especially if you're nervous about starting therapy, Kelsee will put you at ease.

Dr. Lisa Lien

Psychologist, PsyD

Kelsee has a unique abundance of empathy and gentleness in her therapeutic approach as well as in her overall demeanor. Her therapeutic capacity for listening and meaningful reflection is strong and so helpful.

Marisa Lewis

Counselor, MA, NCC, LCPC, CADC

Kelsee has a grounded presence that creates space to talk freely. I find her pace to be slow and intentional- she is always in a training or reading a book on how to incorporate more somatic and holistic approaches into her work.

Audrey Adams

Kelsee is an expert in counseling individuals and couples through many challenging life experiences, especially relationship concerns. Her approach is compassionate and kind while offering that expertise, an absolute win-win. I highly recommend her care!
