Practice Information

Hello! I'm Kelly (they/them). Using an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens, I'll be attuned to the complexities of your lived experiences, the potential societal and structural influences on your life, and how certain parts of your history may be impacting your present. 

In our work together, I strive to facilitate the following:

  • prioritize collaboration, where I will follow your lead when exploring what feels right for you and your healing
  • create a space where all parts of yourself can feel included
  • work through patterns and experiences that feel “stuck”
  • getting in touch with your emotions and body at a pace that feels aligned with you
  • improving relationship with yourself and others 

 

My areas of specialty include: 

  • Navigating systemic oppression and marginalization
  • Trauma (complex trauma, PTSD, intergenerational trauma)
  • Healing from attachment wounds, including those from early childhood, that may impact adult relationships
  • Diasporic identity (reconciling with two or more cultural identities)
  • Racialization
  • Sexual orientation and/or gender identity (including reconciling cultural identities with LGBTQ2S+ identities)
  • Neurodivergence
  • Navigating various relationship structures such as polyamory/nonmonogamy

 

The approaches that I use: 

  • Trauma-informed 
  • Intersectional feminist
  • Multicultural
  • Anti-oppressive
  • Narrative therapy 
  • Parts work/Internal Family Systems
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy


Services (virtual and in-person options): 

  • 15-minute free phone consult
  • 50-min Individual Session - $140 
  • 80-min Individual Session - $224 
  • Hormone Readiness Assessments (80-min, including fee for paperwork) - $300 

 

COVID considerations for in-person sessions: 

To support COVID-conscious community efforts in reducing transmission risks (and to protect the immunocompromised loved ones in my life), I will be wearing a KN95/N95 mask for all in-person sessions and there will be an air purifier running at all times. For clients, masks are not required but greatly appreciated. KN95s are also provided in the case that you wish to use one.
