Kelsey is a master’s candidate in Naropa University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, with a concentration in Buddhism-Informed Contemplative Counseling. She works with people who feel the weight of their struggles and want to explore how their past experiences and coping mechanisms have shaped who they are today. Kelsey encourages a collaborative process in client-centered sessions. Her goal is to empower the client to make meaningful changes in order to find joy and fulfillment.
Kelsey’s drive as a counselor is to help people confront and move through the suffering they experience, both in traumatic events and through everyday life. She believes each person has the innate capacity to find their inner courage to transform difficult experiences into empowerment. Her strengths in a therapeutic setting include a calm demeanor, humor, willingness to talk about the dark parts of life, and a nonjudgmental attitude.
Kelsey’s counseling interests include neurodivergence, trauma, and underserved identities. She integrates contemplative psychotherapy, trauma-informed/neurodivergence-informed care, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), tailoring each approach to your unique needs. Both in the therapeutic space and outside of it, she passionately advocates for those without the voice they deserve. To improve one person's life is to make the world a better place.
Kelsey came to this helping professional after a long journey of working to help people through work as a private investigator and time with the federal government.
Kelsey’s commitment to self-care includes hiking, reading, playing video games, working on her cars, skiing, laughing at her dogs, and enjoying the adventures that life brings her.
