“I see therapy as a collaborative process where I seek to understand you, your needs and your goals while offering new perspectives and teaching you new skills. I want to help you understand yourself more and to find healing in relationships with others and with yourself.”

Kelly

Therapy Focuses: trauma, shame/resilience, addiction, mood/thinking patterns and relationship issues

Q: What are the first few sessions like?

A: A combination of getting to know the client and setting a plan for therapy, what are the clients goals and desired outcomes.  We will look for patterns and insights.  Also, while getting to know the client and their history, I want to share/educate about coping skills that can be practiced right away.

Q: Why did you become a therapist?

A: The short answer: I know life can be hard and I want to help make it at least a little less hard while helping people heal and learn new ways of living the life they want.  I want to help share hope that change is possible!

Q: What’s 1 thing you want people to know? 

A: It is natural to be nervous about therapy. And it is a process! I guess that's 2 things.
