About
Kelly offers psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families, serving those experiencing temporary life crises, significant transitions such as divorce or career changes, or specific issues like anxiety or trauma for which they seek professional assistance. She also provides services to individuals seeking a primary mental health care provider to support ongoing mental wellness. With over twenty years of experience in the mental health field, she specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a proven intervention for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Panic Disorder, and various phobias. A particular interest of hers is assisting couples; she has developed a personalized coaching approach that combines evidence-based techniques and tailored strategies to help couples overcome the pain associated with infidelity and rebuild trust. Guided by a strong belief in the power of intention, authenticity, and love, she emphasizes the importance of healthy communication skills, emotional regulation, and fostering meaningful connections to promote more purposeful and fulfilling lives. Her approachable demeanor, sense of humor, and pragmatic, no-nonsense problem-solving style help clients feel at ease, creating a supportive environment that facilitates genuine growth, positive change, and lasting satisfaction.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What prompted you to seek out therapy?
Don't overthink it. I will send you a form first and we will cover the ground we NEED to in the first session.
That being said; I encourage questions.
always feel free to ask whatever comes to mind.
Lastly, it is not uncommon for people to come in for their first therapy session, not really knowing what their needs are. Don't worry. We will figure it out collaboratively.
