Hi, I’m Kelly. I am an action-oriented trauma therapist that helps people feel the way they would like to feel. If your childhood was especially painful, you want to feel differently and you're ready for change, setting boundaries feels difficult and you feel overwhelmed by your day-to-day tasks, I am the therapist for you. I'm skilled in assisting adults ages 21+, who are experiencing challenges related to parenting guilt, anxiety, insomnia, grief, phobias, as well as have a special interest in PTSD, childhood trauma and working with veterans.

Whether in session or at speaking engagements, I focus on solutions & growth. I'll help you, your child, or students overcome seemingly overnight changes in self-esteem, mood, behavior, or school. My therapeutic style is coach-like: this works best for people who are motivated to change. I love to see kids & teens learn new, positive behaviors that will set them up for future success. I get excited when I see women improve their self-esteem & ditch that job or boyfriend that doesn't respect them. I'm the right therapist for you if you want to overcome anxiety or depressive symptoms or if you're just tired of feeling stuck/helpless.
