“And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken. I just want you to know who I am.”
-Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls
Meet Kelly
My amazing dog, Opie, who helped me through my own healing.
Hey there! I’m Kelly. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
The song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls spoke to me so profoundly when I was a teen. It brought me comfort in a difficult time and inspired the name of my private practice today. My goal is to give you a place where you can experience genuine acceptance and understanding, while we strengthen your authentic self.
My clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and nonjudgmental. I aim to create a space where you or your child can feel safe enough to explore, express, and grow.
Walking into a room to share your most personal thoughts with someone you’ve just met can feel overwhelming. That’s why I focus on building a genuine, supportive connection from the start. I believe healing begins when you feel truly safe, seen, and understood. From that place of trust, we can explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and work together toward the goals that matter most to you.
I can be hard to open up to a stranger. To get to know me a bit better, here are a few fun facts about me:
I love anything Reese’s, although Reese’s Pieces might be my favorite.
I absolutely love animals and think they play an amazing role in our mental health.
I am passionate about giving things a second life such as refinishing furniture or finding an incredible item in the thrift store.
I relax & recharge by reading, watching documentaries, playing games, and sitting on a sunlit patio.
If this sounds like the type of counselor you are looking for, I’d love to connect!
