Her goal is to help clients understand how their past shapes them, heal, and move forward with resilience. These struggles can feel like barriers to living fully, but with Kelcie’s guidance, clients can reclaim joy and create a fulfilling future.

As a trauma-informed therapist, Kelcie uses a gentle, person-centered approach, empowering clients to take charge of their lives and embrace their authentic selves. She believes that change often requires stepping out of one’s comfort zone and is dedicated to providing the support needed through that process.
