Clinical Approach
Kellie’s clinical work centers on neurodivergence, autism spectrum support, trauma, relational trauma, emotional abuse, and anxiety, with particular sensitivity to clients whose distress is invisible or whose needs have been filtered through someone else’s idea of what is right.
Kellie uses an eclectic, individualized approach and draws from:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Play Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Mindfulness
- Tapping (EFT)
- Gestalt-informed approaches
- Embodiment / somatic processing
Beyond the Clinical: Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is an innovative therapeutic approach that takes the clinical work out of the office chair and out into the world.
Movement and a changing landscape do something measurable to the nervous system that makes the clinical work more accessible, particularly for clients managing sensory overwhelm, trauma, avoidance, or the exhaustion of masking in traditional settings.
Kellie offers two formats.
- Virtual walk and talk therapy — available throughout Florida
- In-person walk and talk therapy — available to clients in Melbourne, Florida
If traditional office settings or face-to-face video calls feel stressful, learn more about how walk and talk therapy may offer a more comfortable way to engage in therapy.
Identity, Perspective & Lived Experience
Kellie’s perspective is shaped in part by her own experiences of moving through very different places and cultures while often feeling like she did not fully fit in. From Texas to England to Pennsylvania to Beachside Florida, she learned early what it feels like to be the new person, the outsider, or the one trying to adapt to a world that does not quite feel like home yet. That lived experience deepened her understanding of what it means to feel different, to try to change yourself to belong, and to eventually realize that pretending to be someone else never leads to real peace.
That perspective informs the way she shows up for clients who feel out of place, misunderstood, or pressured to become a version of themselves that is not real.
Training & Professional Background
Kellie’s background includes therapy and counseling work at True You Always, teaching in an ESE setting, work as an MSW intern and domestic violence advocate at Serene Harbor, and trauma-informed support in youth and transitional housing settings. She has provided mental health assessments, treatment planning, therapy, case management, crisis support, psychoeducation, empowerment groups, and practical life-skills support across a range of client populations.
