• Feeling like you do not belong or fit in
• Exhaustion from masking to appear normal
• Healing from childhood trauma and shame
• Life transitions
• Understanding your needs and how you experience the world

Who Kelli works with

Kelli works with artists, engineers and scientists, childhood trauma survivors, LGBTQIA+ people, neurodiverse people, life transitioners, and students over 18. Her support fits people who already see a therapist or counselor, or who have enough stability to do the work.

How Kelli works

Kelli offers a weekly or every other week Zoom call called a Listening Forward Conversation. Clients bring whatever is active for them. She offers an outside view, other ways forward, and pointed questions. She draws on trauma responsive attention, lived experience, and the Life Support Paradigm, a framework with seven domains that helps people see their needs. She does not diagnose or prescribe.

She is in training for a Parts Work Certification and is a Freedom Folk and Soul Minister of the Healing Arts. In 2018 she began a six year engineering sabbatical.
