Are your past experiences or current struggles leading you to lash out, withdraw, make unwise decisions, or disrupt your relationships? Maybe it feels like no matter what you try, you just can't get it right. Life has a (not so funny) way of bringing difficulties that leave us wounded and disconnected. As our pain deepens, we develop coping strategies to numb and protect ourselves. These painful experiences and defense patterns can have long-lasting detrimental effects that deprive us of joy and meaning. However, although painful, these places of darkness can be catalysts to rewrite our story and move us towards healing.

I meet you where YOU are with a full approach: emotional, physical, relational, spiritual, financial and intellectual. I provide a safe and supportive environment for exploring and resolving obstacles to your growth and well being. YOU are far more than any diagnosis you have ever received. I am now trained in EMDR and it is THE way to get beyond all issues including over-eating, drinking, self criticizing & more.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I know it isn’t easy to look for a therapist, and it can even feel scary to take that beginning step of seeking therapy. Therapy is helpful for healing emotional and relational wounds, increasing self-awareness, building skills and resources, and increasing clarity when you are feeling stuck and things look hopeless. Therapy is also helpful when you just want to stretch yourself to grow beyond old patterns and what feels familiar but no longer brings you joy, or when the familiar is costing you too much. You are starting something courageous by choosing change, and you don't have to do it alone.

Hi, I'm Kaley! I specialize in adolescent, individual, and couples therapy.

My education and experience gives me the tools to support the emotional connection and improve the attachment bond within your relationships.

Do you want more freedom and ease, but when it comes to making lasting change that gets to the root of the issue, you have run out of ideas and patience and want support from someone who understands and can help facilitate growth?

At iAmClinic, our primary goal is to help the LGBTQ+ community and beyond establish internal solidarity, rooted identities, and long-term relational health. Each member of the iAmClinic team has experienced their own growth and healing, which fosters the excitement to offer the same life-changing process to those in our community. We created a safe place where people can share their stories, their pain, and their confusion, and what we’ve discovered most is that we created a place where people watch their lives change – a place where celebration happens and joy blossoms.

It is a sacred thing to enter into your story. As voices and demands clamor for attention seemingly now more than ever, I want to create a therapeutic space that allows the noise to fall away and for your voice to be heard. Your life has such inherent value that I find it a privilege to walk alongside clients who want to find greater freedom from cycles of shame and self-defeating emotional roadblocks. Couples and individuals can benefit from someone hearing their stories, championing them on toward freedom to be who they were made to be and to walk in peace in their closest relationships.

Gaining a profound, life-changing self awareness is not only possible, but it happens all the time. In the counseling process, you can learn how to transform the quality of your life and relationships through fundamentally changing your thoughts, beliefs, and your point of view. I help individuals to face their inner turmoil to heal struggles with trauma, anxiety and depression, and teach Couples to resolve conflicts to find the relationships they have always wanted. I also teach Love and Logic parenting skills to help parents fully empower their children. Having the life you have always wanted is possible.

Do you wonder if life COULD feel meaningfully BETTER than your current experience? Anxiety & depression leave so many of us feeling alone in this world. Perhaps you are hoping to figure out who YOU truly are, struggling with a signficant change or loss. Your emotional needs MATTER - simply because you're human. You deserve REAL support in finding your own path out of whatever is leaving you feeling hopeless, isolated or STUCK in life.

Are you hoping to engage in self-exploration & dig DEEPER into why you are the way you are? My clients often struggle with feeling connected to others AND themselves. They are motivated to address unhelpful patterns that they are currently stuck in & feel open to processing past traumas and setbacks that may be impacting HOW they show up with family, friends, co-workers & romantic partners. I firmly believe that therapy provides a safe space to courageously tackle what feels overwhelming & scary to navigate on their own, with the knowledge & tools of an unbiased, genuinely caring professional counselor.

Trying to think of an "ideal client" is a little funny; each person that walks into my office is so unique. There is one thing they seem to have a common interest in, though- understanding how they fit into their world and how this can shift their happiness. Health issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma can grow when placed in unhealthy/unknown social cycles. Our work will always start by creating the most supportive environment around you to succeed. Once that happens, new patterns and mindsets for how we behave become so much easier to learn and practice. It really is amazing our connection to the world around us!

I work with couples, families and children. I believe that when you are feeling stuck, whether it is with your relationship's security, sexual intimacy, your family's communication, your child's behavior or the confusion you may have with your life's circumstances, seeking guidance is the first step to creating change in your life. My goal is to help create change within relationships that can be maintained long after the therapy process has ended.
