Drawing from an Emotionally Focused Therapeutic Model, Kaylee helps to identify barriers to connection, and works to help you develop new patterns of interaction, leaving both you and your partner feeling heard and understood. This approach helps Kaylee in working with couples experiencing frustrations in co-parenting, a loss of intimacy, and an overall sense of hopelessness in the relationship. Kaylee has trained with some of the leading relationship therapists in the country.
Using a systems approach with both individuals and couples, Kaylee helps you understand the different elements of your environment impacting your ability to engage in your life in the way you desire. She believes that in the context of safe relationships, people can change and grow the most, thus provoking her to connect with you on a fundamentally human level. Kaylee helps you apply the power of connection to your life outside of therapy, to engage more meaningfully in both your personal and professional relationships.

She regularly checks in to make sure you feel heard, encourages you to be yourself, and specializes treatment for each client.
