About My Clients: Adults 

My clients are ready to finally get over their past (and are realizing that time hasn't healed it) and start really having the best lives they can. My clients are ready to dive in and explore how their identities, past experiences, cultures, and traumas have shaped them and their world. They are ready to start writing their life story instead of just witnessing it, and have agreement between what they know to be true in their heads and feel deep down.  They are ready now to be authentically happy in their relationships and find deep and meaningful connection.  And they are ready to believe what they hear about themselves from others and at a deep down and core level, finally feel good enough and at peace.  

​

About My Clients: Kids

My clients are kids who have been through bad experiences, that little ones should never have to experience.  They may be not seem like the same kid or teen, but are trying their best way to cope.  This often looks like making bad choices, acting out, making negative statements about themselves, or withdrawing .  The parents I work with are just doing the best they can, and want to see their kids have lasting healing, resiliency, and be the best version of themselves.  

​

About My Clients: Couples

My couples are people who love each other, but keep getting into the same annoying fights over and over again and don't feel connected anymore.  They want to make things work and feel like a strong team like they used to, they just don't know how.  Or, they are getting ready to be married, and want to start their marriage with a strong and solid foundation.  Wedding planning is stressful, and they want to remember what's important and be thoughtful as they blend family cultures and traditions both in the wedding, and in their lives moving forward.

How I work

​Kaley is dedicated to therapy that is respectful, accepting, and comes from a place of cultural humility and curiosity in guiding your own body and brain's natural drive towards healing. She is committed to fighting against mental health stigma and systemic oppression and strive to help clients empower themselves and others. She does this by making it a professional and personal goal to constantly be improving, learning, challenging her belief system, engaging in continuous cultural self-assessment, and fighting for justice and equality for all people. 

​

Kaley believes everybody has the ability to heal and improve themselves when presented with the right environment and a little bit of help.  This belief leads her to work as a team with her clients to accomplish their shared therapeutic goals.  When working with clients, Kaley strives to create a supportive and accepting atmosphere free from judgment.  She does this by making it a priority to view the world through her client's eyes and using their own insight and knowledge to address their goals.

​

Kaley believes that everything in an individual's life is interconnected.  All of our experiences, cultural backgrounds, family structure, the people in our lives, and our choices all combine to make us the unique people that we are.  Because of this, she uses a holistic approach to incorporate all of these factors to personalize her work to each client's needs.  Working with her client's, Kaley explores how all of these factors shape the person and help empower them to take ownership of authoring their life goals.
