Hi! My name is Kelly
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) dedicated to supporting clients on their path toward healing and growth. I believe therapy is about more than just managing symptoms— it’s about understanding yourself better, recognizing patterns that may be getting in the way, and creating changes that align with your values and goals.
I work with adults and older teens experiencing a range of concerns and specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, impulsive or addictive behaviors, and attachment/relational issues. I also support clients navigating depression, ADHD/executive functioning challenges, life transitions, and problems in school, work, or family life.
My style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.I grew up in Maryland and attended Lafayette College in Pennsylvania before earning my master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2012, with a clinical concentration in children and families.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the opportunity to provide clinical services to children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings. I’ve worked with adults experiencing homelessness in the DC area, adolescents in inpatient and residential treatment programs, youth navigating the juvenile justice system, and individuals and families receiving community-based therapy services at home and in school. These experiences have shaped the way I work today and helped strengthen my awareness of how relationships, life experiences, access to resources, and larger social inequities impact a person’s mental health and wellbeing.
I’ve also spent many years providing outpatient psychotherapy, helping clients navigate difficult periods, better understand themselves and their relationships, and make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.
Outside of work, I’m married and a mom of two through adoption. I love spending time with family and friends and exploring new places. Yoga and adult coloring books are two of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge!
