Hi! I’m Kelsey.

I’m a licensed therapist in Oregon. I’m most passionate about empowering adults as they navigate anxiety, family-of-origin challenges, perfectionism, and patterns that affect their relationships. Together, we explore how these experiences show up in your life today and focus on building understanding, awareness, and practical tools to feel steadier and more connected.

In therapy, we focus on how past experiences continue to shape your relationships, your sense of self, and your emotional life. Sessions are collaborative and reflective, creating space to process difficult emotions, explore relational patterns, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I combine insight-oriented, relational approaches with practical strategies for managing anxiety, strengthening boundaries, and fostering emotional flexibility. The work is paced for your needs, helping you move toward clarity, ease, and more authentic connection — both within yourself and in your relationships.

Formal Education and Training:

I am licensed with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists. I hold a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sociology from Portland State University and a Master of Arts (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University. Major coursework has included Principles & Techniques of Counseling, Human Growth & Development, Psychopathology, Personality and Counseling Theory, Social and Cultural Foundations, Group Theory and Therapy, Professional Orientation, Couple/Family Therapy, and Lifestyle and Career Development.
