Welcome
It's time to focus on you.
Meet Kelly
Hello! I'm a therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. In addition to my private therapy practice, I have worked in outpatient clinics, schools and community mental health. I'm also a certified yoga instructor with extensive training in Yoga Nidra meditation.
​
In my work, I am active, affirming and authentic and wholly focused on helping my clients to find – and recognize – their innate ability to self-right and heal. When working with me, clients describe having a new therapeutic experience – one in which they see genuine and positive change manifest in themselves and their lives.
I enter every client session with the belief that healing – and the ability to feel better – is available right now, in the present moment. The techniques I use, primarily AEDP, are designed to provide clients with a new perspective on, and experience with, the issues they are looking to resolve.
Finding the right person to work with is one of the most important steps in the therapeutic process. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an initial free consultation.

FAQ
Are you accepting new clients?
Yes, please reach out if you are interested in meeting. I'm currently only seeing clients via Telehealth (Zoom).
What can I expect at first?
I ask clients to meet weekly at first, and later we assess if moving to biweekly sessions is appropriate. Meeting weekly, early in treatment, helps the work get moving more quickly and effectively.
How long should I expect to be in therapy?
This is an individual decision and up to you! I work with clients anywhere from 3-6 months to several years, depending on their goals and needs.
Who do you work with?
I specialize in working with individual adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transitions, grief and loss. I also work with those healing from trauma.
​
I value diversity, equity and inclusion in my practice. I welcome clients from different racial, economic, cultural and spiritual backgrounds.
What is AEDP?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is an experiential model of therapy that is supported by a wide body of contemporary research, including from the fields of neurobiology and neuroscience.
The model prioritizes creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship so that emotions associated with trauma can be fully processed. When this happens, positive shifts like self-compassion, and a greater sense of well-being and self-esteem emerge.
In AEDP, we try to help our clients - and ourselves - become stronger in the broken places.

Individual Therapy
I work with individual adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, grief and loss. I also help clients heal from attachment and developmental trauma. I'm currently seeing clients via Telehealth only.
Supervision & Consultation
I offer supervision and consultation services to clinicians interested in working more experientially and relationally, as well as those learning AEDP.
I have been greatly influenced by my mentor, Dr. SueAnne Piliero, and her work in the development of AEDP and Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT).
AEDP Supervision Groups
I offer time-limited supervision groups throughout the year to clinicians interested in deepening and honing their AEDP skills. My groups are open to therapists throughout the country and outside the US.
