Kelly works with a diverse range of clients — from children and teens to adults and families — with a specialized focus on narcissistic abuse recovery, high achievers, and those navigating chronic illness, including cancer patients and their loved ones.

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Recovering from a narcissistic relationship is one of the most complex and disorienting experiences a person can face.

This is a cornerstone specialty of both her private practice and the Ellis Method program series.

• More programs coming soon across a range of life topics
