Why Teens + Young Women Choose Therapy with Me

This isn’t stare-at-the-floor and nod therapy. It’s real talk, quiet moments, and space to breathe. Whether she’s overwhelmed by school, friendships, or just trying to keep it together, this is a place where she doesn’t have to perform. I’m not here to fix or judge—I’m here to help her sort through it all and feel a little more steady in the middle of the chaos.

I’m so happy you landed here.

Hi, I’m Kelley. I love working with teens.

The teens I work with are often high-achieving, thoughtful, and carrying more than they let on. Maybe your daughter is putting intense pressure on herself at school, having a hard time managing friendships, or feels overwhelmed even by things she used to enjoy.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a mom of two. I’ve spent over ten years working with teens and families—first in residential and outpatient programs, and now in private practice. My approach is direct, warm, and focused on giving your teen the space and tools she needs to feel more confident, capable, and supported.

SERVICES I PROVIDE FOR TEENS AND THEIR FAMILIES:

Being a teen is hard. Raising one is hard too. You don’t have to do it alone.

When your teen has space to talk, things start to shift at home too.
