About Me

Hi there! I'm Kelly, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC), and Master Addictions Counselor (MAC). I'm thrilled about the opportunity to work alongside you. I believe that everyone should feel comfortable within themselves and have the resources to change if something in their life is not being met emotionally, mentally, or physically. My priority within this context is to ensure and create a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions and process their thoughts.

How I Work

No two people are exactly alike and therefore I believe the best way to meet a person's needs within the therapeutic setting is to draw from various evidenced-based and trauma-based modalities. Below are the theories I draw from the most:

· Strength-based

· Person-centered

· Trauma-informed

· Motivational Interviewing

· Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

· Mindfulness

My approach within the therapeutic relationship is one that is rooted in respect for one another. I enjoy getting curious about my clients and this can show up in the small details or in an open-ended question that encourages thinking from a different angle. Humor and directness are also experiences that will show up in our therapy sessions.

Clinical Orientation

While being initially drawn to Existentialism therapy, I utilize an integrative model to best meet client’s needs. Being primarily rooted in strength-based and person-centered is what most shows up in sessions with myself.

Who I Work With

I currently see adults over the age of 18 of all gender identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Most folks I currently work with have experienced a few of the following: co-occurring diagnoses, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, substance use, prenatal/postnatal, shame & self-compassion, and unresolved trauma.

A Bit About Me

As an east coaster at heart, the PNW has been my home for the past 10 years. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, catching up with girlfriends at our book club, or taking spontaneous weekend trips up to the mountain or the coast.
