About Me
Kelly is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor in Nevada. She is also a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California. I view the world through the lens that we are profoundly interconnected and believe strongly in the power of relationships to transform. My approach with clients is transpersonal, integrative, strengths-based and resilience informed. I use EMDR with other presence focused, mindfulness-based and somatic orientated interventions. I am often out exploring Lake Tahoe and the Northern California coast with my family, dog and friends. I thrive being with nature and enjoy meandering through the forest and meadows, hiking, playing in the ocean, lakes and rivers, hot springs, mountain biking, yoga, meditation, dance, art, backcountry and nordic skiing, golf, music, art, cooking and learning.
