Owner & Clinical Director

Kelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) provider. She has extensive experience working with individuals and couples navigating fertility challenges, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, traumatic experiences, and other complex life transitions. She brings specialized training in supporting fertility patients, including those facing issues related to third-party reproduction.

Kelli understands the many layers of grief and loss that are often interwoven throughout fertility and reproductive journeys. Her goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate your path toward healing, offering authentic connection, compassionate support, and practical skill-building tools. Whether you are grieving and redefining your family-building story, coping with birth trauma, or processing pregnancy or infant loss, Kelli helps you gently unpack the complex emotional layers that accompany these experiences. She encourages individuals to honor and make space for whatever emotions arise, even when doing so feels difficult.

Kelli believes that genuine connection and rapport are the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship — and that this relationship is essential to healing. She takes an integrative, strengths-based approach, drawing from EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy. Above all, Kelli strives to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where emotional vulnerability is welcomed and supported.
