She brings a decade of direct therapy experience and more than 20 years working in the broader mental health field to her work with clients. Kelly focuses on helping people discover clearer direction and greater satisfaction in their lives by attending to the many areas that shape wellbeing.

Her approach centers on treating each person as a whole, addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, questions of personal and gender identity, cultural and spiritual matters, acceptance, self-esteem, health and wellness, communication, family issues, boundaries, motivation, confidence, goal-setting, and adapting to change.
