Hi, I’m Kellis.
I believe therapy should feel like sitting down with someone who wants to understand your story.
Whether you’re an adult trying to find your footing in a new season of life or a parent wondering how to help your child, my goal is the same: to create a space where you feel heard, supported and hopeful about what’s next.
You don’t have to know exactly where to start. Sometimes all it takes is one conversation.
From there, we’ll give out the rest together.

Therapy should feel like a conversation, not another place where you have to have it all figured out.
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. Whether you’re navigating change, carrying the weight of burnout, or searching for clarity, therapy can you move forward with confidence one conversation at a time.
My background
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
Qualified Supervisor
Former Educator
For years, I've worked alongside children, adolescents, adults, families, and schools, helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, executive functioning challenges, grief, and emotional wellness. My experience in both education and mental health allows me to understand how life's challenges show up not only in therapy, but in classrooms, workplaces, and everyday life.
Who I work with
Adults navigating change
Many adults I work with aren’t in crisis.
They’re simply at a point where life no longer feels the way it used to.
Maybe work has become exhausting.
Maybe a relationship has changed.
Maybe you’re adjusting to becoming a parent, navigating grief, or wondering why you don’t quite feel like yourself anymore.
Therapy offers a place to pause, reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater confidence.
Supporting teens through life’s biggest transitions
Middle school and high school are full of change. Friendships evolve, academic pressure grows, confidence can take a hit, and suddenly the future feels much closer than it used to.
Whether your teen is navigating anxiety, school stress, identity, relationships, or preparing for life after graduation, therapy can give them a place to slow down, understand themselves, and build the confidence to move forward.
Having worked in schools for years, I've learned that behavior is communication. My goal is to help teens feel understood while giving them practical tools they can carry into adulthood.
For parents wondering…..
If you've noticed your child isn't acting like themselves, trust that instinct.
Maybe they're more withdrawn.
Maybe they're struggling in school.
Maybe emotions seem bigger than usual, friendships have become difficult, or home feels like a constant battle.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Together, we'll work to understand what's underneath those changes while helping your child develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
What it’s like to work with me
When we work together, you can expect sessions that are:
• Warm and conversational
• Grounded in research without losing the human connection
• Collaborative rather than prescriptive
• Focused on practical tools you can actually use
• A place where you can be completely yourself
What I believe
I believe that most people don't need someone to tell them how to live their lives.
They need someone who will slow down with them, ask thoughtful questions, and help them make sense of what feels confusing, overwhelming, or uncertain.
That's how I approach therapy.
Not with judgment or pressure, but with curiosity, compassion, and practical support that helps you move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
Because real growth isn't about becoming someone else.
It's about finding your way back to yourself.
Outside the office
When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll usually find me planning my next trip, searching for a great cup of coffee, reading, or spending time with my family and dogs.
I believe caring for our mental health isn’t just something we talk about in therapy, it’s something we practice in everyday life.
