About Kelly

Hello. If you are reading my profile, you are considering taking a step toward self-betterment. This is an important, and sometimes daunting experience. Change can be scary, even change for the better. I hope this bit of information about me will help you make the important step toward choosing the right therapist for your individual needs. My commitment and focus is to offer counselling that is tailored to the unique needs of the clients I serve. I offer several treatment options, including EMDR, art therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, somatic healing, attachment therapy, and mindfulness and meditation to name a few; however, my approach is to tailor the therapy to fit your needs. So while I am trained in several treatment modalities, and have an expertise in these therapeutic approaches, I am not the expert of your life. You will lead your treatment journey, while I support you in making the changes that are specific to you and your lifestyle. I am committed to providing therapy that focuses on the promotion of overall well-being and restoring balance in my client’s lives.

I work from a strength-based, client-focused perspective. As a registered, practicing social worker, I have treated individuals, families, couples and groups with various presenting problems. I am an approved therapist for the Crime Victim Assistance Program, supporting victims, family members, and witnesses of violence, including physical and sexual assault. I specialize in acute and complex trauma therapy.

I believe in flexible and accessible mental health supports, so I offer various payment and appointment choices, including a sliding scale, insurance coverage options and weekend appointments. In order to learn more and to see if I am the right fit for you, I encourage you to call me for a free consultation.
