Kelly is passionate about creating an empathetic, non-judgmental space grounded in unconditional positive regard for every person. She focuses on building strong therapeutic relationships and collaborating with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, supportive therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, Kelly works with patients of all backgrounds and diagnoses across the lifespan. Before entering the world of psychiatry, she spent nearly a decade as a registered nurse working in critical care. It was during her time in a trauma Intensive Care Unit that she discovered her passion for helping patients and families navigate their emotional responses to acute and life-changing trauma.

Kelly understands that mental health treatment extends beyond medication alone. She is committed to supporting the physical, nutritional, sleep, social, and emotional aspects of wellness to promote the overall wellness of her patients.

Kelly is married with two young children and a spoiled golden retriever. In her free time, she enjoys running, going to the movies, drinking coffee, and spending time with her friends and family.
