I specialize in OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. I enjoy holding a safe space for people to share their innermost thoughts on their path to self-discovery and healing. My approach to OCD therapy involves looking at thoughts and behaviors, then focusing on changing behaviors and tolerating distress caused by thoughts. I also specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. The aspect of my job I find most gratifying is when people have "lightbulb" moments when they realize they don't have to live in fear, anticipation, or shame forever.

Why our members love working with Kellie
K.S.
Kellie creates a welcoming environment where I feel safe expressing myself. She is always compassionate and empathetic but holds me accountable because she truly wants the best for me. I highly recommend working with Kellie especially if you are committed to making a positive change in your life.
A.B.
Kellie is a great therapist. She meets you where you are but pushes you just enough to get you where you need to be. She is calm and collected & has undivided attention during our sessions. She brings a “I believe in you” attitude that makes therapy exciting even when it’s uncomfortable. I am able to look forward to therapy rather than dread it when it comes to Kellie because although we may do hard exposures, I know it will benefit me and I have great support with Kellie.
