I am committed to helping people understand themselves better so that they can make constructive changes in their lives, whether that is to feel less depressed or anxious, to establish more satisfying relationships, or to function better at work.

As a clinical social worker, I provide therapy from the standpoint of a mentor, teacher, as well as a guide, in order for clients to have control over their treatment. I use an eclectic mixture of approaches, including strength based, psychoeducational, narrative and cognitive behavioral therapies. Meeting clients where they are is what we do best No medication is prescribed in my office currently as I am not a physician and there is not one on staff, but I do work with many physicians from around the area. I will gladly refer to a physician if medication management is needed or a clinical psychologist for formal testing.

Kelly has worked with clients of all ages (3+) to help navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, health conditions, caregiving, and family systems. She is passionate about helping you structure your goals to find the most effective methods of achieving them.

My approach includes present-centered, strength-based therapy. I provide you with practical tools that you will be able to use in your everyday life. I also encourage excellent self-care and advocate for healthy living within our healthcare system. My focus is on helping patients and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, Cancer, Dementia, and other physical pain and illness. I am a trained Gestalt Therapist and work in the here and now using mindfulness, a combination of wellness models, and solution-focused intention. I believe that 'if nothing changes, nothing changes,' so psychotherapy is crucial to good health.

Are you considering therapy? If you have been experiencing emotional difficulties, therapy can be an effective tool. It focuses on helping you to process your feelings, enhance or eliminate behaviors, learn to problem-solve, and build healthy relationships. Therapy also helps to identify factors affecting your current emotional state such as unresolved traumas, underlying depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict including marriage or child-rearing, work stressors. For teens, therapy can enhance parent-child relationships, peer conflicts, stress related to school and future aspirations and dating.

It is my experience that an empathic approach that is strength-based and grounded in science provides the most optimal therapeutic outcomes. While the foundations of my therapeutic approach are behavioral and cognitive- behavioral, I view compassion as an integral component to the way in which I practice. I believe that growth and change are fostered in environments in which individuals are seen and heard and differences are honored. It is therefore my primary mission to provide a safe and supportive environment for each individual and family member that I work with.

Thank you for reviewing my profile. I look forward to working with you and assisting you in gaining new skills and processes to improve your emotional health. Each person with a diagnosis responds differently and therapy is not a one-solution-fits-all. I incorporate therapeutic interventions that are evidence based, individualized and are person-centered. Interventions may include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Practices. I utilize an eclectic approach based on the whole person such as current concerns, history, personal attributes, and supportive resources.
