I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.


I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.


I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist who values the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I respect your beliefs, identity, culture, and family background, and I welcome the opportunity to integrate faith into the process if it is important to you. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and a sense of safety, not through judgment. You should know that I walk alongside you with patience, kindness, and genuine care.

Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kelly. Taking this step is big. I provide a down-to-earth, humorous yet warmly empathetic space to spark real change (sweats and pet cameos are welcomed!). I help clients navigate trauma, stress, depression, parenting (and co-parenting), grief, as well as relationship and addiction challenges. Let's work together to find your path forward.

Is your child remarkably sweet, yet intensely difficult? Let's fill up your toolbox and reduce your stress.

You love your spouse but are the end of your rope. Relationships can be healed through accountability and communication to get back "that loving feeling."

I will help you and your loved ones improve communication to find peace and live a happier existence.

Now is the time to find your peace and finally live a happier existence. Act on the motivation you have today and meet me in session. You can conveniently book your session, to the right of my bio.

If you would like to chat briefly prior to booking, I would be happy to. My number is 973-245-9041 ... If not now, when?
