She has helped me with organizing my thoughts and to remember to make sure I take care of myself. She listens and has knowledge of stuff I need her to have I feel safe with talking to her

Kelli truly cares about her patients and shows it through how respectful she speaks and her actions even outside of therapy. I’ve been blessed enough to work with her and am grateful for her new perspectives she’s offered in my life!

More about Kelli

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have had the privilege of working with all types of individuals during my career. For the past 13 years I have had extensive working with military veterans, families, and those who have experienced trauma which continues to affect them. My approach to therapy is eclectic. I integrate evidence-based techniques in CBT, DBT, CPT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care with a focus on increasing resilience, self-awareness, and meaningful change. Whether it's navigating relationships, overcoming trauma, or addressing persistent behavioral cycles, I am dedicated to walking with my clients as they realize their strengths and move toward healing and growth. My approach is taken from a variety of evidence-based practices that have been successful in working with trauma and addiction. When working with couples, I typically use Behavior Couples Therapy and CBT to address negative patterns and accentuate positive ones. Functional Family therapy addresses behaviors of children that affect the family system and used with contingency management, it is effective for productive change and increased communication. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
