Hi, my name is Kelly. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with advanced training in EMDR. I specialize in helping caregivers, seniors with Alzheimer's, individuals with aphasia, and trauma survivors manage stress and process trauma more effectively using EMDR. Alongside individual counseling, I offer weekly group sessions for caregivers to receive support and develop skills for resilience.
If EMDR doesn't feel like the right fit for you, no worries! With over 17 years of experience providing "talk therapy," we can always explore and address your concerns through meaningful conversation.
To ensure that working together is a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Contact me now to schedule. I look forward to hearing from you!

Finances
Fees
- Average Session Fee $120
- Out of Network
- I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay your co-insurance for our sessions, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This can save you on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-insurance would be.
