Testimonials
The work that I have done with Kelly has been essential in transforming my life! I initially sought her help to address an eating disorder, self-esteem issues, and depression. At the beginning of our work together, I was 40lbs overweight, struggling with severe depression, and had dropped out of college. My relationships were suffering greatly, particularly the one with myself. I felt stuck and hopeless, disliking who I was.
Kelly's guidance and wisdom helped me confront repressed trauma related to sexual abuse. She introduced me to somatic therapy and nervous system regulation/reprogramming, which have facilitated healing on levels I never imagined possible. Since I started working with Kelly I have shed 19 lbs, resumed my education, and found a deeply fulfilling connection with a man with who I can be open both emotionally and sexually. This relationship has been incredibly healing for me.
I can't speak highly enough of Kelly. The environment that she creates is welcoming and nurturing, it's a space where I feel genuinely safe.

Kelly came into our lives at an incredibly crucial moment. Over the past two years, we've struggled immensely with communication. Our repeated conflicts led to a buildup of resentments and a significant breakdown in trust. He would withdraw, I'd become anxious and upset, and the distance between us became almost unbearable.
From our very first session with Kelly, both my husband and I were amazed by her ability to truly listen to both of us, offering a new perspective that allowed us to genuinely hear each other. It's been a consistent source of relief. Kelly has been instrumental in helping us manage our emotions, gaining clarity, and providing insight into each other's inner feelings. She's guided us in understanding the traumas we project onto each other and delving into our attachment styles, enhancing my comprehension of his needs and his understanding of mine.
Kelly has help use understand the cycle of conflict and healthy repair and it has been eye-opening. Before we started working with Kelly we kept escalating conflicts until everything metaphorically burned down. However, after several sessions with Kelly, we can confidently say that we're learning to establish healthy, clear boundaries and demonstrate love and respect in numerous ways. Our connection is rekindling, and we both feel it's stronger than ever before. Kelly's expertise has been worth every penny.

I've been working with Kelly for a little over a year, and I can't express enough gratitude for her impact. Her guidance has touched every aspect of my life, leading to palpable and noticeable personal growth that everyone around me has recognized. Having endured various forms of childhood abuse, I found a pattern of similar abuse in my relationships until Kelly helped me realize how deeply that trauma had affected every facet of my life, especially my relationships. I always felt like a perpetual victim, I carried immense shame and guilt, my self-esteem plummeted, and I became a chronic people-pleaser while harboring an underlying anger. I lost my voice in this process, but working with Kelly has been crucial in helping me reclaim it.
Her constant reminders during our sessions to 'take up space' have been incredibly impactful. Her words echo in my head outside our sessions- 'Gabe, it's your turn to take up space. All of you is welcome here.' It's a powerful reminder of the ongoing work I'm doing.
Kelly's demeanor is warm and welcoming and her soothing voice immediately puts you at ease. Her guidance into nervous system work feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket. I never thought I'd look forward to doing this kind of inner work, but here I am, excited every time our weekly appointment reminder pops up on my phone.

I don't even know where to start! Kelly has been the first person who truly made me feel that I was ready to open up. I have worked with multiple counselors in the past but none of them have provided such a safe space. Kelly has an incredible ability to help me find clarity and direction in my emotions. She has helped me address many issues I have faced over the last 3 years. Even though I don't need to come in as often as I did when we first started working together, I often find that I want to because she helps ground me and I feel on top of the world after each session. One of Kelly's most valuable skill set is her ability to make you truly feel understood and how she works with and educates you about the nervous system. I appreciate how she helps me regulate my nervous system after a heavy session so I don't walk out into the world a mess. I love her suggestions for self care. I am truly grateful to have found her.

Kelly, is a breath of fresh air. She is warm, caring, empowering and has a great sense of humor. This combination helped create an environment where I immediately felt that I could be myself. Kelly, is an exceptional listener and brings a manner of professionalism and wisdom that helped me dive to the deeper issues of my addictions that had a enormous grip on my life. I have been a chronic chain smoker for over 25 years with alcohol dependency. Through my work with Kelly, I was able to break my addictions! My health drastically improved and so did the quality of my relationships. I am forever grateful for the work that we did. I highly recommend working with Kelly.
