About Kelly

......You're carrying more than you let on. Maybe it's burnout that's built slowly, until you're functioning but not really present, in your work, in your own life. Or, trauma, old or recent, still shaping how you move through the world. You're likely good at holding things together for other people, and less practiced at asking what you yourself need.

My approach

I want to help you slow down enough to actually look at what you're carrying. We'll work relationally and at depth — not just symptoms, but how you adapted to survive, and where those adaptations now cost more than they give.

About me

View 5 Photos I offer relational, depth-oriented therapy — not just symptom management, but real understanding of how you adapted to survive what you've carried. I specialize in trauma and burnout, drawing on over two decades in VA and military hospital settings working with people whose experiences are complicated, layered, and hard to untangle alone.
