She combines her knowledge and training to provide a warm, genuine, non-judgmental environment for everyone who enters her office. Kelsey values creating a safe space where clients can experience acceptance and support. She believes healing and growth are possible for everyone regardless of their struggle, and that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Kelsey works with clients of all ages, from as young as three through late adulthood. She is very familiar with competitive sports community in North Texas, playing soccer throughout her entire life on club teams, high school teams, and all four years in her time at Austin College. She enjoys working with clients that play competitive sports and struggle with performance anxiety. 

 

In addition to working with children and teens, she often works with parents and adults who experienced childhood trauma.

She has worked in a variety of clinical settings, including psychiatric hospitals, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric programs, eating disorder hospitals and programs, private practice, and a non-profit agency that provided mental health services to the LGBTQ+ community. Kelsey learned valuable de-escalation techniques in her time in the psychiatric settings, as well as how to support clients of all ages in crisis situations. She has extensive experience working with families and children suffering from eating disorders in an inpatient pediatric setting.
