Kelly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Clinic Director at Ellie where she leads with warmth and professionalism. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and brings years of experience working with individuals across the lifespan.
While Kelly began her career working with children and adolescents, her passion and expertise have grown to include specialized care for older adults, postpartum parents, and individuals navigating complex life transitions. She has extensive experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and grief and loss, always with a compassionate, client-centered approach. Kelly holds a deep commitment to providing holistic care to her clients and believes therapy is most effective when it’s rooted in authenticity, connection, and trust. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to heal, grow, and thrive.
Originally from Michigan, Kelly now calls Southwest Florida home. Outside the clinic, she enjoys writing, getting lost in a good book, and spending quality time with her family.
