Meet Kelli

I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, and significant life transitions. I am licensed in Washington and Oregon. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, working through painful experiences, navigating relationship difficulties, or adjusting to an unexpected life change, I am here to support you in developing greater self-awareness, building effective coping strategies, and strengthening relationships.
