Kelly also holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy, Clinical Counseling, and Depth Psychology.

Welcome
We all find ourselves struggling at times. As your therapist, I offer a compassionate, mindful presence, while promoting an empathically attuned relationship. Working with me will include periods of mindful reflection, active inquiry, tuning in to body sensations and emotions, and working with the present to understand the influence of the past.
How I Work
Overall, my approach is collaborative and rooted in curiosity and kindness. I believe in taking a strengths-based, empowerment-oriented, and culturally-sensitive approach to help you achieve your greatest sense of wholeness. I am committed to inclusivity and strive to provide care that meets and acknowledges your needs, especially related to your experience.
