Hi there! I’m Kelly. I have a deep belief in the capacity for people to change, improve their lives, circumstances, and choices, and to create a new start for themselves and their families. I understand the challenges and traumas faced by first responders and law enforcement members and care deeply for supporting their healing and resiliency. As a trauma focused therapist, I know the experiences that individuals face in childhood, and the family system that they grow up in, play a significant role in their development, self concept coping skills, life path, and relationships.
I aim to help my clients understand how their experiences impact their beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. I work with them to develop tools to reduce distress and disruption to their lives and functioning. I utilize a variety of techniques, including EMDR, trauma- focused CBT, DBT, Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment Theory.
I understand many of the barriers, hesitations, and anxieties people face entering counseling services, so I am intentional about creating a relaxed, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I look forward to working alongside my clients to empower them to make positive changes in their lives.
