Hey, I'm Kelly!
Hey, I’m Kelly.
I’m a trauma informed counsellor and somatic EMDR practitioner — and I’ve done this work myself. That matters to me. I’m not guiding women through something I’ve only read about.
I know what it’s like to be functioning on the outside while something underneath is quietly falling apart. I know what it’s like to smile through the hardest years of your life. I know what it’s like to finally sit in a therapist’s chair and have something exhale that had been holding tight for a very long time.
After losing my mom, who was my best friend, I hit a wall I couldn’t smile through anymore. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD, and I found myself doing the deep, uncomfortable, life changing work of actually healing. That experience sent me back to school and brought me here.
I became a counsellor because I needed this work first.
How I work:
My practice is grounded in trauma informed care, somatic awareness, and parts-based approaches. I work with the body, not just the mind because real change doesn’t happen only in your head. It happens in your nervous system, in your patterns, in the parts of you that developed long before you had words for any of it.
I offer individual counselling, somatic EMDR, and the Growing Into You group program for women. Everything I do is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that healing is possible, not in spite of what you’ve been through, but through it.
I specialize in:
- Trauma informed counselling
- Somatic EMDR
- Nervous system regulation
- Parts based approaches (IFS-informed)
- Stress, anxiety, and life transitions
- Group therapy and community based healing
