With a strong background in education and counseling, Kelly firmly believes in the inherent resilience and potential within each person to navigate their journey towards growth and healing.

Her professional journey has provided her with a unique perspective on the intricate interplay between a child’s environment and their developmental trajectory.

Kelly’s approach is rooted in creating a warm and nurturing environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

As a play therapist, Kelly understands the importance of using play as a medium for self-expression and exploration, especially for children who may find it challenging to articulate their feelings verbally. Through play, children can communicate, process emotions, and develop essential coping skills in a natural and non-threatening way.

In addition to her work with children, Kelly also provides support to families, helping them navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships. She believes in the importance of involving families in the therapeutic process, recognizing that familial dynamics play a crucial role in a child’s development and well-being.
