About Me
Hey there, I’m Kelly. I am a licensed professional counselor candidate and a certified clinical trauma professional.
I’ve known I wanted to become a counselor since high school psychology class opened my eyes to the power of healing. We watched a movie about Childhelp USA, an organization dedicated to ending child abuse and neglect. That moment sparked something in me—a deep desire to support and advocate for children who need a safe place to be seen, heard, and cared for. That early inspiration continues to guide my work today, reminding me why creating safety and connection matters so deeply.
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.
It can be terrifying walking into a room to meet a stranger for the first time to discuss some of your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings. That is why I focus first on genuine connection. True healing begins when you feel safe and understood. In that space of trust, we can begin to uncover the patterns that might be keeping you stuck and work towards meeting your individualized goals.
If this sounds like the type of counselor you are looking for, I’d love to connect!
My amazing dog, Opie, who helped me through my own healing.
