What Clients Have to Say~

“Kelly is amazing to work with in couples therapy. She was able to help us recognize the long-standing patterns/cycles that were hurting our relationship and provided tools/strategies to change those patterns. She quickly makes both in the couple feel heard and understood and most importantly at ease.

Kelly is gentle and empathetic while encouraging the hard work and reflection that is needed to make real progress in couples therapy…..we have created a marriage focused on love, kindness, understanding and intimacy.”

Couples Counseling

I am passionate about working with couples to create stronger, safer, relationships. Often couples replay old cycles of relating. In couples’ therapy:

  • We will notice your patterns of communication and conflict that keep your relationship stuck.

  • Address tension between togetherness and separateness

  • Explore intimacy and sexuality concerns

  • We will explore past relationship trauma’s

  • You may develop new ways of connecting both emotionally and physically. Having courage to speak for hurt parts in a more compassionate way may build, loving, safe, anticipatory feelings towards your partner.

 

 
 

Individual Counseling

I provide a nonjudgmental and emotionally safe environment to help work through, life changes, exploration of sexuality, anxiety, or past traumas. Coming to therapy takes courage and a willingness to look at the rhythms and emotional cycles that keep us stuck.

  • I will help you to begin to notice your anxious/overwhelmed or shut down triggers with compassion.

  • You will become familiar with activation within your body and learn the neuroscience around your fight, flight or freeze response.

  • Learn to create internal and external boundaries with yourself and those around you.

  • Creating a new awareness and inner attunement helps to build trust, connection, safety, and vibrancy from the inside out.

Testimonials

“Kelly rocks as an individual therapist! Not only does she (figuratively) hold my hand through the hard stuff, but also makes me laugh, and knows how to offer a well-placed reality check when I’m feeling overwhelmed or lost. I feel seen and heard and gently reminded me that I am doing the work that will allow me to feel happy and whole. Kelly incorporates IFS work with a deep knowledge of Adult Children of Alcoholics behaviors and root causes. These approaches, taken together, have helped me unpack my habitual behaviors and how I got them”.

“Working with Kelly really allowed me to tap into different parts of myself - the parts I may otherwise ignore or avoid - and take the time to acknowledge them, validate them, and work through them. Overall, I have become much better at identifying my emotions, the motivation behind my behavior and in doing so, am able to break harmful cycles and keep emotions from getting the best of me”.
