About Kelly
She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Kelly listens to each person's story and helps them find small, doable steps to feel steadier day to day. She uses methods that encourage clearer values, emotion regulation skills, and re-authoring of difficult life stories.
Her work often addresses complex situations such as abandonment, attachment wounds, and the effects of past abuse. She also supports people dealing with substance use concerns, divorce or separation, blended family challenges, and aging-related issues. Communication problems and control or dependency struggles are also common topics in her practice.
Kelly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and act on those values. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Narrative Therapy techniques are used to reframe painful memories and open new possibilities for identity and choice.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her California practice. She holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
