I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience in education and mental health support. I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

My professional background includes extensive experience as a school counselor, which has strengthened my ability to support individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. Over time, my clinical work has expanded to include adolescents (15+), adults, and older adults.

I enjoy working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I also have a strong passion for working with older adults as they reflect on life experiences, cope with changes in health or independence, and find meaning and purpose in later stages of life.

In addition, I work with couples and married partners who are seeking to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connection. I support couples in navigating conflict in healthier ways and developing a deeper understanding of one another.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives

Hello! I'm a queer therapist with a particular focus on serving the LGBTQIA community. I work with adults who are ready to explore their identity, navigate life changes, and feel more at home in themselves. Many of my clients are discovering new layers of their sexuality and gender identity, exploring polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, or unpacking the effects of religious trauma. I also work with couples and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and neurodivergence. My style is relaxed, collaborative, and affirming.

I have been practicing in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I have a Masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from University of North Texas. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I serve clients age 18 and up addressing issues related to trauma, substance use, stress management, family issues, and other mental health issues. I have extensive experience in working with LGBTQi population. Clients will be seen virtually.

At Kelly Counseling and Consulting my mission is to offer compassionate counseling to help individuals confidently overcome life's challenges. I ensure a safe space for growth, offering care that fosters wellness and meaningful change, aiming for every client to feel valued and hopeful.

Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.

I am deeply passionate about supporting parents as they navigate the many challenges that can come with raising a family while maintaining healthy, loving relationships with their children. Balancing the constant demands of parenting while also trying to care for your own needs, identity, and well-being can be incredibly exhausting. Many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from the version of themselves they once knew.

What I’ve discovered through my work with parents and families—and through my own experience as a mom of two—is that prioritizing a parent’s mental health is not selfish; it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. When parents feel supported, healthy, and emotionally grounded, it creates the foundation for a stronger, more connected, and more rewarding parent-child relationship.
