I strongly believe in the power of a safe space.
CARLA KELLY, MASTER’S LEVEL INTERN
There is power in a safe space, a space where you can not only be yourself, but where you feel safe enough to share your deepest hurts, most powerful breakthroughs, & everything in between.
I believe therapy is a place where we can explore and wrestle with those things. This is far from easy & takes an immense amount of courage, but I would be honored to walk through those moments with you.

The path to healing may feel overwhelming alone, but it doesn't have to be that way. I believe therapy can create a space to meet your truest self & find comfort through the challenging parts of life. I hope to create that space & give support & guidance.
Grief, love, happiness, & sadness are all a part of the journey. It is the utmost importance to me to meet you where you are & for you to feel safe, supported, & accepted.

Everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, seen, and supported—especially when healing from painful experiences or navigating overwhelming emotions. I specialize in working with children and teens, helping them process their stories in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
