Her broad professional background includes working with adults and complex youth who have experienced intense trauma, as well as those coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, and other mood-related challenges.

Her therapeutic style integrates several evidence-based approaches:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation, mindfulness, and communication skills.

• Solution-Focused Therapy to build on strengths, set meaningful goals, and encourage forward movement.

Kelly’s approach is warm, empathic, and empowering. She creates a supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges, discover their resilience, and move toward personal growth and emotional balance. She believes that through therapy and support, lasting change and fulfillment are always possible.

Kelly is currently accepting new clients and looks forward to helping you take the next step toward healing and well-being.
