hello and welcome
It’s lovely to meet you.
My name is Kelly and I am a Social Work Licensure Candidate born and raised in Bozeman, MT. I graduated with my Master of Science in Social Work from UT Austin in 2023. Prior to and during graduate school I worked in healthcare, education, outreach, and community-engaged research settings, gaining a strong foundation in perinatal mental health. As a clinician, I am particularly drawn to supporting neurodivergent folks and adults navigating attachment wounds, relationships, and life transitions.
I use a warm, direct, and eclectic approach with a cultural-relational focus. Meaning, I like to pull from various therapeutic methods to foster our relationship and meet your own unique needs. A few styles that guide my work are Attachment, Parts-Work, Acceptance & Commitment, Somatic-Experiencing, and Cognitive-Behavioral. If you are someone who is looking for a balance of connection, processing, and tools-based problem solving in therapy, you’re in the right place.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and identified, an advocate for HAES, and committed to anti-racism work including continual exploration of my own biases. As a mental health practitioner I believe deeply in the power of collective care, and that the truest path to healing lies in communal collaboration and connection. I am also an advocate for the magic that comes with time spent outdoors.
In therapy, I will encourage you to find joy and purpose outside of work and my life looks no different. In my free time my spirits are high when I’m curled up with a good story, lost in deep conversation with loved ones, traveling to new sites, or scrambling up rock faces and through alpine meadows. You might also find me practicing creativity through cooking & DIY projects, or snuggling with my beloved pup.
“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
