Hi I'm Kelley
I am that mom friend. The one people come to when shit goes down. Or the gal on the plane that people tell their life story to. Then I went to grad school to become a professional.
I actually didn't believe in therapy, until I needed it. I'm a high functioning gal with debilitating anxiety and depression. But, for me to create change, I needed empirical evidence, clear outcomes and ways to measure growth. So I studied Marriage & Family Therapy and Addictions. This helped me get to the root of the matter and then use brain science to create change.
​
It's been 18 years and I am honored everyday to help others create change in a kind, compassionate and humorous way.

I have two ways to help you create change:
​
Traditional Therapy and Skills & Coaching. There are amazing benefits to each. See what fits your need.
Traditional Therapy
A fabulous option if you are looking to explore and find insight over time. This has an emphasis of theory and evidence based interventions with a medical review. This is typically covered by insurance. ​​​​​​​​​
​
I am credentialled with the following insurance companies:​
​
​
​Out of Pocket cost
Individual Therapy - $300/hour
Couples or Family Therapy $400
​
​
​
Skills & Coaching​
This is where we get right down to business. Typically done in 2-3 hour sessions. It is an intensive program to help create immediate change. We will work with your narrative, life skills and the "how" to make it happen. This is a great way to get a lot, in a brief amount of time.
I do in-home sessions by referral only

$600 - 2 Hours
$800 - 3 Hours
