Hi, I’m Kiley!
If you're here, chances are something in your life feels overwhelming, exhausting, or difficult to carry alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you care about, navigating the effects of past experiences, or finding yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you despite your best efforts to change them.
Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that change is possible.
I believe many of the struggles we experience are not signs that something is wrong with us. More often, they are understandable adaptations to the experiences, relationships, and stressors we've encountered throughout our lives. The ways we cope, protect ourselves, and move through the world often make sense when we understand the story behind them.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly understood. Together, we'll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, build greater awareness and flexibility within your nervous system, process unresolved experiences, and help you move toward a life that feels more connected, grounded, and aligned with who you want to be.
Therapy With Me:
-
My work is grounded in the understanding that healing happens through both the mind and the body.
While insight and understanding are important, many struggles, especially trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and relationship difficulties, are also held within the nervous system. This is why I take an integrative approach that combines traditional talk therapy with evidence-based and body-based therapies that help create change at a deeper level.
I draw from approaches including:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Somatic Experiencing®
Attachment-Focused Therapy
Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)
Polyvagal-Informed Therapy
HeartMath®
TIST
LENS Neurofeedback - COMING SOON!
Together, these approaches help clients develop greater nervous system regulation, process unresolved experiences, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a deeper sense of safety, resilience, and self-trust.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Registered Nurse. That experience fundamentally shaped how I view healing.
As both a therapist and a nurse, I recognize the powerful connection between emotional, physical, and nervous system health. I understand that symptoms such as anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, emotional reactivity, or feeling disconnected often have roots that extend beyond thoughts alone.
This perspective allows me to help clients understand not only what they are experiencing, but also why their bodies and nervous systems may be responding the way they are.
My goal is never to "fix" you. Instead, I help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself while creating the conditions that allow healing and growth to emerge naturally.
-
I primarily work with adults and couples who are seeking meaningful and lasting change.
Many of my clients are navigating:
Trauma and complex trauma
Anxiety and chronic stress
Relationship and attachment challenges
Childhood emotional wounds
Burnout and overwhelm
Life transitions
Emotional disconnection
Nervous system dysregulation
Personal growth and self-discovery
Many are highly capable people who appear to be functioning well on the outside while privately struggling with stress, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or patterns they cannot seem to change on their own.
-
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, collaborative, and direct when needed. And you might also even hear me cuss a little.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You are the expert on your life and experiences. My role is to bring clinical expertise, curiosity, compassion, and guidance as we work together toward your goals.
I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful growth and change.

When I'm not in the therapy office, I'm usually spending time with my husband and our blended family of four kiddos. Between work, sports, school activities, and the general chaos that comes with raising kids, life is full, loud, and rarely predictable.
I love being outdoors and will happily take a day of camping, kayaking, gardening, or exploring over just about anything else. Nature is one of my favorite ways to reset and recharge.
I'm also a fan of live music, great food, and crime documentaries, which probably says something about me, though I'm not entirely sure what. If you've ever found yourself falling down a true-crime rabbit hole at 10 p.m. knowing you should be asleep, we're likely kindred spirits.
At the end of the day, I believe relationships matter, people are far more resilient than they often realize, and growth is possible at every stage of life. Those values guide both the work I do with clients and the life I try to build outside the office.
