Hi, I’m Kellie!

I specialize in emotional regulation and sexual behavior analysis.

A clove hitch knot is used when you need strength and versatility, the ability to hold steadily but be flexible and adjust when needed.  This knot perfectly symbolizes what we want to bring to our clients: strength, psychological flexibility, and tools that can be used now and across a lifetime.

People seek therapy from a behavior analyst when they want to focus on behavioral changes and skill building moving forward rather than on processing the past.  We use applied behavior analysis (ABA) as well as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy/Training (ACT) and Sexual Behavior Analysis (SBA) in our practice to help you reach your goals and establish new behavior patterns.

You are the expert in experiences, your circumstances, and your background: I can offer hope and a structured approach to make the changes you want to see in your life, guided by your personal values and strengths.

Hi, I’m Kellie!

People seek therapy from a behavior analyst when they want to focus on behavioral changes moving forward rather than on processing the past.
 
Using systemic principles & effective methodology, I work with clients of all ages and intellectual ability/disability. I am a board certified and licensed behavior analyst, and I specialize in the field of Sexual Behavior Analysis (SBA). SBA is an evidence-based humanistic approach which uses best practices from Sex Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) (among other methodologies) within the framework of Behavior Analysis (BA).
 
My areas of expertise include neurodivergence, social/emotional skills, sexual and/or sociosexual concerns, and problematic sexual behavior including lack of partnership skills, poor impulsivity control, and insufficient sexuality education. I have extensive experience working with general behavioral concerns and anxiety, as well as grief.
Whether you are here seeking services for yourself or for a child/teen in your life, know that this is a place of safety and acceptance.
 
You are the expert in experiences, your circumstances, and your background: I can offer hope and a structured approach to make the changes you want to see in your life, guided by your personal values and strengths.

Some Sweet Words

What clients have to say about
working with Kellie

"I kept looking for the wrong thing.  I didn't know what I needed was called a behavior analyst!"


- mother after 6 years of looking for behavioral support

"You pointed out to us that it was her way of communicating. With the inability to articulate actually what she was feeling in the moment, she was just frustrated and literally a visceral scream was all she could get out. There were three things that you recommended that worked phenomenally well."


-parent who received 2 hours of consultation for screaming

"And that's what you said: if it's not tolerable for you and your family then it's too much...there is no litmus test for normality, it's just if it's not ok for you guys then it's just not ok."


- parent and past client

"What we needed was somebody to observe the dynamics and then offer solutions--practical solutions."


- parent speaking on why she chose to work with Kellie

"It's having that expert to counsel and coach you through the steps that you need to be a happier and more engaged parent."


- parent and former social worker describing why she partnered with Kellie

"We as parents are also coping with this trauma that is COVID 19...how do we do that and be effective parents? We need tools to survive."


- parent of 4 and 8 year old

"We are a lot happier. It's just a happier, calmer household."


- Mother of two after consultation
