Hi.
I'm Kelley, a gal who understands that starting therapy is awkward. Believe me, I've been there myself. As a former 'Type-A' gal, I've struggled with severe anxiety and depression for most of my life. Through my own work and healing, I discovered an approach to therapy that allowed me to understand both the science of the brain and the skills in which we all need to thrive.
For these reasons, I always try to foster a kind, casual, and judgement-free space for people to explore their stories. Because yes, therapy can be tough; it can even be nerve-wracking, at times. But it is also rewarding on a deeply personal level. It is eye-opening. It is science and it is rad.
