Kelly uses an integrated therapeutic approach in response to each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and lived experience. She is skilled with Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy. Her approach to counselling considers how systems, power, and relationships are present in both harm and healing. Counselling with Kelly may also include aspects of system navigation and case management in addition to traditional psychotherapy, in recognition of the many factors that cultivate wellness (communities of belonging, effective healthcare, meaningful work, etc.).

Kelly received her Masters of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and is registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. She’s worked in social services for over 10 years, counselling for over 5 years, and has provided psychotherapy in a variety of unique contexts (hospitals, universities, community agencies, and private practice). Kelly’s primary focus is clinical work, but prior research efforts explored the experiences of LGBTQIA+, Neurodiverse, and Disabled folks in counselling, health care and education.
