Do you notice your body alternating between being ready to fight a hoard of zombies or being mistaken for one? Are feelings from past pain overwhelming you at inopportune times despite doing everything you can to avoid remembering those experiences? Have you noticed feelings of unexplained shame, paralysis, frustration, with the occasional dash of self abandonment? Are you disappointed that catastrophizing isn’t an Olympic sport because planning for the worst case scenario of every situation is your jam?

If you’re feeling worn down by work stress, stuck in perfectionism, or navigating complicated family dynamics, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I support people who want to quiet their inner critic, shift old patterns, and find more ease in relationships with family, at work, and with themselves.

My approach incorporates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts work, Somatic therapy interventions, and Mindfulness/Meditation practices to support both deep emotional healing and practical coping skills.
Many people carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, or depression for years, often quietly, putting up a mask to the world that “everything’s fine.” If that feels familiar, know that you’re not alone — and healing is possible. My role is to hold a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you can finally set some of that weight down, sort through it, and move toward the life you want. Hi, I’m Kelsey and I specialize in helping adults (ages 18-60+) who are working through trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. As a therapist, my style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative.

I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed, disillusioned, or fearful about the current state of the country and the world. Perhaps the recent election or the ongoing climate crisis, combined with the stress you are carrying in your personal life, weigh heavily on you, leaving you feeling unsettled or even paralyzed by grief and anxiety. In our work together, we won’t pretend there are simple solutions—there rarely are. But I am deeply experienced in navigating through grief, panic, and the search for resilience in uncertain times. I offer a grounding space for you to explore these feelings.

I incorporate the latest in neuroscience research and pull from relational psychotherapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic, interpersonal neurobiology and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
Life is difficult. Feeling better is possible. We all have the right and the ability to feel some peace and acceptance about our lives; the things we can control and the things we can not. We may often believe the negative thoughts we have (that we often make up) and act accordingly. You can change your life, your outlook and the way you think and feel about yourself and your relationships. I believe changes and growth occur when an individual is able to challenge their thoughts, examine their perspectives and learn how to be true to themselves.

I draw from mindfulness, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and relational work to help you reconnect with yourself.
Clients often come to me when they’re stretched thin, overwhelmed, or quietly falling apart while still trying to function.

Many find their way to me after difficult/toxic relationships, and they’re ready to understand what happened and rebuild trust in themselves.
Clients often come to me when they want a therapist who gets the nuances. I work with all populations who want space where they don’t have to edit themselves, explain their identities, or brace for judgment.

In our work together, I’ll incorporate psychodynamic, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches to meet you where you are and work together as a therapeutic team.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
