Kelly is so thoughtful and detail oriented. She is a approachable, a friend but most importantly my therapist who has helped me tremendously!

She has helped me so much and in so many ways. Not enough words to describe it.

Written on Apr 11, 2023 after therapy with Kelly for 3 years and 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

Kelly has been my therapist for so long I've lost track, but for good reason. She's seen every side of me and helped me work on so many of my problems when I felt like I was a lost cause. She has made herself available every day since the first day I texted her on a weekend and was surprised to get a response back that same day. She has helped me come so far, walked me off so many ledges, and listened to my long winded rants all to help me see the good in me. Highly recommended.

Kelly is nothing short of amazing. Not only does she help me by talking through any and all life issues at any given point, she is infinitely supportive through all of it. She provides great insight and perspective, guidance without judgement, and makes it clear that she is lock-step with me the whole way.
