Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Waxahachie, TX

I work with adults 18 and older who feel anxious, depressed, distracted, emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, or unlike themselves. They may be struggling with ADHD, mood changes, stress, sleep disruption, low motivation, or difficulty functioning in daily life.

Hi! I'm Kelley.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Religious Studies. I earned my Masters degree from the University of North Texas's Counseling Psychology program.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), EMDR Certified, and have over 60 hours of training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). With more than a decade of experience under my belt in both treatment center and private practice settings, I am well equipped to help you heal your relationship with food and body image, reclaim your life from anxiety and trauma, and navigate the emotional challenges of PMDD and perimenopause. And if you appreciate a mix of humor, authenticity, and occasional swearing, we’ll likely get along well!
