Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed drug and alcohol counselor, and small business owner. I have been working in the behavioral health field since 2009, and I specialize in the treatment of substance use and addictive disorders, depression and anxiety, as well as eating disorders with a particular aptitude for working with individuals who suffer from binge eating disorder. I consider myself an eclectic treatment provider, well versed in cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), Inner Child, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative therapies. I am passionate about connecting with clients based on their unique needs as I do not believe in a one size fits all method but instead like to determine what approach will fit best based on a person’s strengths and individualized goals. In most recent years, I have acquired the additional titles of wife, mother, and elder millennial and found that my personal experience with major life transitions has helped inform my work and allowed for a bit of humble humor to make its way into my approach. Overall, I am very much a people person, I get energy from being around others and therefore helping those in need has become my life’s work and I couldn’t imagine it any other way.

She brings a focused clinical approach to treating substance use and addictive disorders, depression and anxiety, and eating disorders, with particular experience working with individuals who struggle with binge eating disorder.
Kelly uses an eclectic blend of evidence-informed methods, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Inner Child work, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative therapy. She tailors treatment to each person – matching approaches to a client’s strengths and goals rather than applying a single method for everyone.
Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship issues, LGBT-related matters, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy challenges, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career-related struggles, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Outside of clinical roles, Kelly identifies as a wife, a mother, and an elder millennial, and she notes that her own experiences with major life transitions have informed her clinical perspective and occasionally lend a touch of humble humor to her work. She describes herself as a people person who gains energy from being around others and is committed to helping those in need.
Kelly has 4 years of experience providing therapy services and emphasizes collaborative, individualized care designed to meet each person where they are in their journey.
Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the primary benefits is flexibility. People can meet with a therapist in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability can make it easier to maintain consistent care.
Therapists who practice online are licensed professionals, and if someone decides another provider might be a better fit, they can switch therapists at any time. Online therapy can be a practical option for many seeking support and treatment for everyday mental health concerns.
