Hey! I’m Kelli. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My therapy style is warm and judgement free. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. When working with a client the most important thing to me is building a relationship. Change and growth happens best when we feel safe and supported. I try to provide everyone with that space. Life is meant to be enjoyed! If you are ready to become the best version of yourself, as well as just get back in control of your life, I would love to meet you and help get you started on this new journey!
I have over 7 years of experience working multiple roles, but my experience is mostly with mothers who are experiencing postpartum depression. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, parenting problems, child development/behavior problems, and career/entrepreneur challenges. I have also worked with young adults who are needing more of a life coach/setting goals.

Everyone experiences the ups & downs of life. If you're stuck in a rut or struggling to manage anxiety, I am here to help! Sometimes we may have an idea on where we'd like to grow, but don't know how to get there. Whether you have anxiety or depression, are going through a breakup or grieving a loss, navigating these challenges can be incredibly complex. Often it can also feel very lonely. You may be grieving the life you have always known & a future that looks far different than you expected. Perhaps you're experiencing feelings of anxiety, fear, or the pressure to be "strong". This is a challenging & uncertain time where it may feel like others can't relate to you. That said, things can get better & you don't have to do it alone!
Each of us handles stress differently-there's no right or wrong way. Therapy is a place where you can openly share & process all of your thoughts, feelings & questions without judgement or criticism, while receiving support that helps you move into the future with more confidence & direction. Everything we do together will be completely tailored to your needs & goals for therapy. Nothing is off limits; I'm here to support you every step of this journey. Because you matter, your wellbeing matters, & despite challenges you're facing today, together we can explore goals specific to you & help you reach them. Reach out & schedule an appointment today!

Have you experienced a loss or traumatic event that has left you feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed? You’ve already overcome so much, but may be noticing patterns in your life and relationships that are keeping you from experiencing the peace of mind & acceptance you truly want. Maybe you have a hard time even putting words to how you feel, you just know something is keeping you from being able to move forward. When you are already juggling the other demands of life, it can be difficult to put yourself first, but you’re ready to take the time and space to invest in your own personal needs. If you have experienced trauma, loss, or any life changing event it can be difficult to find people who can truly relate or understand. I specialize in grief & complex trauma to be able to support you in the unique challenges that these experiences present. I will meet you with empathy, understanding, and care. Together, we’ll work on not just strategies to manage the feelings you’re experiencing today, but also gain a deeper understanding of what has caused those feelings to begin with. We will tap into the mind-body connection and help you build insight that helps you move forward with a sense of meaning and purpose. Please reach am accepting clients virtually!
