Hi there! I’m Kelly, and I use she/her pronouns. Congratulations on taking the courageous step toward finding a therapist that is the best fit for you. Advocating for yourself and finding the right fit with a therapist is crucial to having a good therapy experience!

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a nurturing, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel understood, even if we haven’t shared the same experiences in life. I offer a warm, collaborative, and consistent presence that supports you in building upon your inner strengths as you navigate the challenges that come with being human. I view our time in therapy as an opportunity for you to explore your life with more curiosity and less judgment as you discover what helps you navigate life with more confidence and compassion. 

I am a white, cis-gender, able-bodied therapist and licensed clinical social worker. I view my work through the lens of social justice and use a strengths-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and intersectional feminist approach to therapy. I’m committed to engaging in therapy in a way that is non-pathologizing and recognizes the impact of oppressive systems on the human experience.

I enjoy working with adults 18 and older from varied lifestyles, cultures, faiths, and backgrounds. I have specific training in solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, motivational interviewing, pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) and DBT. 

I have a deep passion for supporting folks through midlife changes, chronic illness/pain, grief, and trauma. I also value working with individuals who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and people of varying identities, ethnicities, and cultures who are looking for a safe, supportive place to land, heal, and grow.

My experiences include community mental health work, medical social work, and a former career in global clinical trial research (pharmaceutical research).
