Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Kelly and I look forward to working with you!

I earned a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) from the SUNY Albany School of Social Welfare, with clinical training that provides the foundation for psychotherapy practice. Throughout my over 20 years of clinical practice, I have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of environments with diverse populations.

My approach to therapy

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. Using Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients identify their strengths, build on what is already working, and develop practical strategies to move toward their goals. Rather than focusing solely on problems, we work together to uncover possibilities, foster hope, and create realistic, positive steps that support lasting well-being.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will discuss what has prompted you to reach out to engage in treatment, what you hope to get out of therapy, and what our next steps will be. This time will allow me to get to know more about you while providing you an opportunity to determine if I am a good fit to assist you through your journey towards improved mental wellness.
