The never-ending mental to-do list, the clutter, the chaos—sound familiar? Let’s find some breathing room.
Hi, I’m Kelly!
As a mom of three, I get how overwhelming life can feel. The endless clutter, the constant noise, the mental to-do list that never seems to shrink—it’s like you’re on a hamster wheel, running on empty while trying to keep everything together. Between the piles of toys, the laundry that’s never done, and the endless stream of kids’ activities, it can feel like there’s no space left for you. And then there’s the overstimulation—the chaos, the mess, the demands—that leaves you anxious, irritable, and unsure how to even begin to cope.
As a former perfectionist and people-pleaser, I know how easy it is to fall into the trap of thinking you have to do it all and do it perfectly. I specialize in helping moms and young women who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. Whether you’re trying to manage the chaos of motherhood or balance a career, relationships, and your own personal growth, the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations can feel like too much. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, or just plain stuck, I’m here to help you find some breathing room.
Here’s the thing: balance doesn’t mean doing it all—it means figuring out what works for you. Maybe that means giving yourself permission to let the dishes sit a little longer, or learning how to say no without feeling guilty. Whether you’re navigating the demands of motherhood or trying to carve out time for yourself as a young woman, I’ll help you create routines and boundaries that leave you feeling good about the time you’re putting into your life—both for others and for yourself.
We’ll work on letting go of the impossible expectations you place on yourself, quieting that inner voice that says you’re not doing enough, and learning how to be okay with a little mess—both in your home and in your life. I’ll help you find practical ways to cope with overstimulation, embrace imperfection, and build habits that protect your peace of mind so you can feel more present and grounded every day.
You’re so much more than your roles and responsibilities. Whether you’re a mom figuring out how to rediscover yourself or a young woman trying to find balance and clarity, you deserve to feel calm, present, and in control of your life. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with what truly matters to you.

IDEAL VACATION:
My ideal vacation is very cliche… I would be enjoying a nice warm cup of coffee, a good book, and a beautiful sunrise somewhere warm with my toes in the sand, sun shining on my face, and the sound of tranquility from the waves crashing against each other.
FAVORITE WAY TO UNWIND:
It honestly depends on the day - sometimes I like to take a nice long walk and listen to some jams and other days I love a good binge-worthy Netflix show or a good suspenseful book.
I’m also notorious for flipping through TikTok and getting lost (literally hours later) in ASMR, organization, or restocking videos 😳
a life-changing piece of advice you’ve received:
I remember holding onto other people’s words and actions and then being told (by my old therapist) that by me doing so, I’m allowing these toxic people to have power over me…and that just made me want to change that narrative. The idea that people who hurt me have power over me was enough to change my thought process and that was so freeing for me… the idea that I get to choose who takes up space in my mind.
skill you’re currently working on:
I’m not sure if this is a skill, but I’m currently trying to navigate the whole mother to three thing (fresh baby in May). Showing up on time, not forgetting someone’s snacks, not embarrassing the kids, picking the right book to read at bedtime, not picking the jeans with holes in them, making sure I brought the right water bottle, etc. I guess the skill of “motherhood-multitasking.”
favorite part about being a therapist:
Oh boy, there is so much I love about this field but my absolute favorite thing is watching my clients acknowledge their worth. There is something therapeutic for us as therapists to watch our clients find themselves again, to see them finally let go of things that are weighing them down. I love being in a session and seeing an emotional response from a realization that has been a long time coming. It literally gives me the chills. I also LOVE being a part of their healing and I forever want them to know that I will always be in their corner.
