Hi there, I'm Kelly!

With over 32 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed care for anxiety, mood disorders, complex trauma, relational challenges, and identity development — including gender and sexuality exploration. I provide affirming, evidence-based care to help you build resilience, clarity, and self-trust.

My focus

Adults navigating trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, relational challenges, and identity development — including gender and sexuality exploration. I have particular expertise working with the LGBTQ+ community, offering affirming care for those exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, and life transitions.

My approach

My approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in evidence-based practices including trauma-focused therapy, schema therapy, and gender-affirming and sexology-informed frameworks. I meet you where you are, tailoring treatment to your unique needs, strengths, and goals — including identity development, gender exploration, and sexuality.
