I enjoy working with folks who are navigating neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism, & OCD) anxiety, depression, family enmeshment, complex relational trauma, entrepreneurial stress, religious trauma, and compulsive or addictive sexual behavior (including porn addiction). I see adults and adolescents aged 12 and up. My own mental health journey eventually led me to a desire to aid others, obtaining a Master of Arts in Counseling with a focus in Clinical Mental Health. I fully believe in meeting you wherever you are, without judgment, and I strive to create a therapeutic space that is both welcoming and safe.

Life is filled with ups and downs, which can be extremely difficult to navigate. I believe that my clients have the ability to persevere through even the toughest of obstacles, despite feeling like doing so is impossible. It is my hope that, through working collaboratively with one another, my clients are able to more effectively navigate the tough and seemingly unbearable parts of life.

Visit my website for real-time availability and to request an appointment. Maybe you can’t do this anymore. You’re stronger than most have ever had to be, but inside you swing between anger and helpless shame, if you let yourself feel anything at all. You keep doing it over and over again—maybe drinking, drugs, sex, rage, self-harm—and you hate it...but on the other hand, hasn't it been more reliable than anything or anyone else? You ask into that inner darkness, "Why am I like this?" But all you get in reply is a desperation to leave it all behind, and then a familiar fear: maybe this is all I deserve or am ever going to get.

"I don't want to talk about it." That may be what you have always said, but life keeps happening and now you don't know what else to do. It could be that you feel like no one has ever really understood or accepted you as you are, or maybe something traumatic has happened. Maybe you're in a relationship with someone you love, but you can't seem to make it work, or maybe you feel shame after turning toward an addiction to fill the emptiness. At some point, everything that used to work stops working and you wonder if you will ever be happy again.

Your personal story is unique. Sometimes your story may feel difficult for you to understand, let alone share with others. Therapy can help you make sense of your story and better understand how it affects your present and future. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I help individuals process challenging life experiences, understand the impact of those experiences on them and those they love, and utilize skills that can help even their most troubling experiences become an integrated and less troubling part of their story.

Welcome! If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably struggling right now and wondering if therapy can help.
Maybe you’ve been more down, on edge, or irritable lately. Maybe something from your childhood, college years, or a past relationship doesn’t seem “bad enough” to count as trauma, but still shapes how you see life, others, and yourself.
Worst of all, you may think you deserve this.
My name is Kelsey, and I’m a graduate clinician at Trailhead. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can understand your inner world, face what hurts, and move toward healing at a pace that works for you.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
