About Our Work Together
You may not know exactly what’s holding you back.
​
You just know something feels off like you’re living a version of life that doesn’t quite fit, and hasn’t for a while.
​
It might be a quiet regret you’ve never voiced. A moment you can’t stop replaying. A life you imagined but didn’t get to live. Or maybe you’ve simply settled into patterns that feel familiar but no longer feel comfortable.
​
That’s where this work begins.
​
Our time together isn’t about fixing you; it’s about helping you see the invisible story that’s been shaping your thoughts, emotions, and decisions…often without your permission.
​
Once you can recognize that story, you can start shifting it, gently and intentionally, into one that aligns with who you are now, and who you’re becoming.
​
This work is for you if you’re ready to:
​
-
Understand what’s actually keeping you stuck...it may not be what you think
-
Release outdated beliefs, guilt, or expectations that limit your future
-
Quiet the inner critic shaped by fear, comparison, or perfectionism
-
Reconnect with what matters to you…not what you’ve been told to be
-
Build the confidence to make decisions that honor your truth
-
Feel more present, peaceful, and grounded in your everyday life
-
Start living with intention instead of just coping or “getting by”
You don’t have to erase your past to move forward.
​
You don’t have to “figure it all out” before starting.
​
You just have to be willing to look within, with compassion, and consider this:
​
What if the life you want is already waiting…just outside the edges of the old story?
Client Testimonial

The insightful sessions filled with amazing wisdom and knowledge inspire me to be a better human, motivating me to think on a higher level to remind me that change, in its scariest form, can be a blessing and full of hope, clarity, and strength. Thank you for joining me on my journey.

I was really nervous when we first started working together, but I got so much out of the first session and felt like Kelly understood me well because she’s been through something so similar. I am happy to have the tools to live an amazing life.

I appreciate Kelly taking the time to listen to me. All of her patience, compassion, understanding, and support have made a big difference for me. It’s been so nice to speak with someone who has experienced many of the same things I have.
My Story
Professionally, I am a physical therapist turned workplace psychologist turned certified transformational life coach. But my journey to self-acceptance and feeling satisfied with my life spans far beyond my career expertise. It wasn't easy pinpointing where my struggle with self-worth and shame started in my life. I'd been that way for as long as I could remember. I'd always felt like nothing I did was good enough, that I didn't deserve the success people thought I had, like I was an outsider in my own life. From the world's view, I looked as though I'd been thriving all along. But what I didn't realize was that I had built my life around quiet stories I hadn't questioned and that those stories were limiting everything.
​
I tried to blame it all on shameful choices I had made throughout my life. I convinced myself that when things went wrong, I was just getting what I deserve. I couldn't have children so that made me subpar. I wasn't losing weight so that made me weak. My business wasn't always successful so that made me insufficient.
​
Looking back, I realize I was treating myself as if I deserved to suffer. And maybe you’ve done that too: believed your mistakes or losses meant you had to carry shame forever.
I stayed in that cycle for a long time. Even with beautiful moments (marrying my husband, building a meaningful career, and traveling to places I once dreamed of), I still felt out of sync with myself. Like I was living a version of life that looked fine from the outside but felt misaligned on the inside.
​
I didn’t fully believe in the version of me who could feel whole, grounded, and deeply at home in her own life.
​
But I do now.
​
And it was not because I reached some perfect mindset, but because I began to notice the stories I’d been living inside. Quiet, powerful stories shaped by past pain, shame, regret, and moments I thought I had moved beyond. I didn’t even realize they were there. Like an invisible cage, they quietly shaped what I believed I deserved, how free I felt, and how fully I could show up in my own life.
​​
When I finally saw them, I could start to shift them. Not all at once. Not with perfection. But with honesty. With compassion. With the willingness to ask, “What if this story isn’t the truth anymore?”
​​
What I know now is this:
-
You don’t have to erase the past to move forward.
-
Some stories, some experiences stay with us. But they don’t have to define us.
-
You can carry them with grace. You can honor what they’ve taught you.
-
And you can still choose a new story—one where your future isn’t written by fear, shame, or silence.
-
You are not broken.
-
You are not behind.
-
And you are not stuck. Really.
You may just be living inside a story that no longer fits.
​
And if something in you is stirring as you read this, maybe now is the time to start a new conversation, both with yourself and with someone who can help you shift.
​
Not because you need to be fixed.
But because you are worthy of feeling free.
