Hi, my name is Kielyr! I am passionate about supporting individuals and families who are ready to look at the deeper root of their challenges. I love supporting those that have gone through a major life transition, such as welcoming a new child, or other big life change. Maybe you have been feeling not good enough and want a chance to look more at why that is while also having someone tell you how proud they are of you and the work that you have done thus far. Maybe you’ve welcomed a new child and it is everything you dreamed it to be, except for when it isn’t. I am someone who will find the joy with you, be very real and genuine with you, and someone who strives to make the therapy space a comfortable place where you can be your true authentic self with your true authentic feelings, regardless of what those are.
I am passionate about research and utilizing evidence-based practices in session such as EMDR and Brainspotting, and taking a psychodynamic approach to therapy. This means that you can expect a lot of support working on things from the past that are keeping you from being the best version of yourself, while also utilizing modalities that are proven to work and are typically gentler on clients.
My approach to therapy is very flexible and starts wherever you are. Do you want to dive right into the past and really work on how that is affecting you? Great, let’s do it. Do you want to slowly ease in and start with small steps, or aren’t even sure what step comes first? Awesome, I can support with that. Do you want a chunk of our session every week to just vent and feel heard? This is important and I will validate that.
I am someone who loves utilizing humor in therapy when appropriate as well as sarcasm. I love meeting my clients where they are at while pushing them to where they want to be. I also love incorporating animals into treatment as I have seen how well they can support individual’s mental health.
I am particularly passionate about trauma and perinatal mental health. As a mother of three, and experiencing birth in a pandemic, I can relate to a lot of challenges that individuals have gone through, and have seen just how little support exists, currently, for perinatal as well as general trauma. I want you to feel supported, heard, and valid.
When I am not doing therapy, I love spending time with my kiddos and partner. I love spending time outside, reading, and doing crafty endeavors.

Gottman
EMDR
Hi, my name is Jennifer! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I help individuals and couples reconnect with themselves and to each other.
Are you tired of feeling disconnected from yourself or with others? Are you tired of feeling alone in your relationship? Are your emotions draining you or limiting you, keeping you scared to reach your goals or live your dreams?
I guide individuals and couples to understand and experience their emotions in a way that brings freedom and peace, insight and deep understanding, bringing you closer in your relationships rather than farther apart, and building a foundation of self-compassion.
Each session will be a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. We will always focus on what’s most important to you. You can trust me to provide a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings, to help you get clarity on whatever challenges you are facing, and learn the tools to continue your progress outside of our sessions.
I am dedicated and passionate about helping others create freedom and safety in relationship with self and others.
I enjoy working with clients using a holistic approach that incorporates mind, body and spirit. I have been trained in Emotional Freedom Technique and love using somatic interventions that bring your focus into the present moment and allow you to make peace with whatever emotions come up for you.
Together we will work to regulate your nervous system and give you a sense of peace and strength to create a life you love.
If you are ready to take the next step, I would love to talk with you for a free 15-minute consultation.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Do you struggle with performance anxiety, whether it’s in sports or giving a presentation at work? Are you trying to do better at work or in sports but mental blocks are getting in the way? Have you ever had any of these thoughts: What if I freeze? What if I don’t do as well I’d hope? What if I don’t win? What will other people think of me if I don’t do well? If so, you could benefit from tailored sessions to help you achieve your goals and be your personal best. Exploring the root of your insecurities and using tools to help you stop comparing yourself and cease the endless cycle of “I’m not good enough”
I use evidence-based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to treat concerns such as sports performance and generalized anxiety.
Imagine that you can perform and be in the moment without fear or worry. Call or email me for a free consultation.
