AREAS OF SPECIALIZED TRAINING

EATING AND BODY ISSUES
Kelly works with teens and adults to identify unwanted eating behaviors, examine ongoing or repetitive thoughts about food and body image, and develop new patterns of thought and behavior. By exploring the function of food and body image, clients can refocus on the things they  value and feel passionate about instead of feeling compelled to think about food, movement, or body image. With over 10 years of experience working with individuals in the eating disorder field, Kelly has a breadth of experience and unique set of skills to bring to therapy sessions.

TRAUMA

Kelly sees teens and adults who have experienced trauma and who struggle with subsequent anxiety, intrusive thoughts/memories, and emotional dysregulation. She helps clients to understand how their trauma continues to affect them, to develop healthy coping skills, and to practice new ways of responding in order to reduce the impact symptoms have on daily life.

ADOLESCENTS & YOUNG ADULTS

Kelly is passionate about working with teens, young adults, and their family units as they navigate changes at varying developmental stages. Social media, technology, and a fast-paced, often polarized world can all add to the stressors of growing up.  By looking at healthy communication, problem solving, decision making, and the establishment of a sense of self, Kelly can help individuals grow to become happy, healthy, and productive members of society.
