Hello, and thank you for stopping by my page! I know it's not easy asking for help and I am glad you are here. When starting this journey, it is important to have a safe and comfortable place to talk. It can be hard to get started, and you've made it! My style of therapy is about helping you work towards the goals you want to achieve. Every individual is different, which means your therapy will be different too. We are all human, and part of being human means making mistakes. I make them too! None of us are perfect, and I strive to create a judgement/bias-free approach towards therapy. We can do this together!

I believe in lifes journey people experience changes and transitions which challenge our ability to adapt and grow. Difficulty in this process can be expressed in a variety of ways including feelings of depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance, change in appetite, reliance on alcohol/drugs, lack of energy, and other symptoms. Often these symptoms are early warning signs we are having difficulty with these changes. Sometimes normal life changes like loss of a relationship, leaving home, or birth of a child can be stressful. Unusual events like traumatic loss, illness, physical injury, and combat experiance present unique personal challenges.

It can be challenging to recognize that changes need to be made in your life and in your relationships. Yet, when conflicts begin to resolve and life becomes “smoother,” therapy becomes its own reward. As a therapist, I focus on creating a trusting and compassionate environment where you will feel safe in areas that await healing. I offer a shelter where you will learn to identify patterns that keep you ‘stuck’ and where you can explore new approaches and strategies that will allow your potential to blossom.

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.

Life is good, you're confident and relatively successful... at least it used to feel this way, but lately your level of anxiety has increased to a point that's almost unbearable. You feel like an impostor despite any success, you find you're constantly second guessing yourself and you're constantly comparing yourself to your peers, your siblings and your parents. You find yourself just drifting, unable to focus, distracted and procrastinating. You are not ready to give up, yet you feel overwhelmed or lost.

The relationship between you and your therapist is a unique one, which cultivates the freedom to share any emotion, thought, or behavior, without fear of judgement. It is important to examine both the "why" behind our thoughts and behaviors, as well as how we can heal our inner or outer conflict, and move forward with improved insight, effective coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, the bulk of my work so far has been with young adults and adolescents, though I often work with families and older adults as well.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
