Kelly works with women who have experienced infertility or difficult pregnancies, as well as new mothers struggling to prioritize taking care of themselves.

Kelly’s therapy style is best suited for those who have busy lives. She empowers clients to take an hour each week to express their feelings and to talk about what’s on their minds, while also gaining helpful coping strategies that can help them feel more grounded throughout their week. Kelly teaches clients mindfulness practices that can fit into their lifestyles, including deep breathing or yoga. In addition, Kelly practices a therapy modality called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is especially impactful for those whose trauma holds them back from feeling present, which often leads to relationship conflicts or emotional fatigue. She is an affirming therapist and encourages clients to love themselves no matter their shape, size, appearance, or situation.
