I was born and raised in Rockford, Ill. before moving to Columbia, Mo. to attend the University of Missouri. I graduated with a Bachelors of Journalism and moved to Rogers, Ark. where I worked as an editor and designer for Celebrate Arkansas Magazine. I fell in love with Northwest Arkansas and stayed in the area to attend graduate school at the University of Arkansas. I earned a Masters of Science in Counseling in 2015 and opened a small practice in 2016. I relocated to Denver, Colorado in 2020. I decided to become a counselor because -- most simply put -- I believe in counseling. Throughout my own counseling work I have come to see the value in sitting across from another person and allowing them to see all of me—my fears, my doubts, my shame, my joy, my hurt. I find author and researcher Brene´ Brown sums it up best: “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

Keely works well with a wide array of clients and therapeutic issues. She sees adolescents and adults (age 14+). She is a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and welcomes all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, expression, gender, and lifestyle. Her approach to therapy is client-centered. She listens carefully and speaks the language of each client she works with to create a meaningful and personal experience in therapy. It is important to her to build a strong therapeutic alliance with each of her clients. She draws upon several types of therapy in her work. Her integrative approach includes CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapy, relaxation training, and Solution-Focused therapies. She is trained and certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is a type of therapy that helps people move past trauma and stop feeling so stuck. It is effective with trauma as well as general adverse life events, depression, and problems with self concept. This is a powerful method of therapy that can provide rapid results and healing in a short amount of time (1-5 sessions). Keely has been working in the field for over 15 years with experience in several settings, including Partial Hospitalization, outpatient, and in-home therapy. She is able to provide in-person therapy or telemedicine (online) sessions. Her office is located in Nurture, a wellness marketplace in Denver. She is pleased to join this community of health and wellness providers and services because it allows her clients to take advantage of holistic health and fitness services that can compliment their therapy.

Welcome to My Denver Therapy We’re here to help and support you. All of our therapists take a client-centered approach and personalize therapeutic plans for every person that puts their trust in us.

Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of anxiety, trauma, depression, life changes, or a different situation affecting your life, we use research-proven therapeutic methods and personalize them to your unique situation to help you heal, learn practical skills that you can use outside of your sessions, and rediscover the person you want to be.

As a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in medical and community-based settings, I have supported people coping with chronic medical conditions, depression, anxiety, academic and learning concerns, trauma, and neurodivergence. Having lived, traveled, and worked in a diversity of regions throughout my early adulthood and career, I have built strong relationships with people from all walks of life. These experiences have informed my perspective and values as a professional and a human. Are you looking for shorter term support in addressing a particular relationship or stressor? Perhaps you are feeling stuck in anxiety or low energy and need a gentle nudge to “get moving” on something. Or maybe you view therapy as a more gradual, exploratory process. I view you as the expert on your life experiences and needs, and myself as a non-judgmental adviser and holder of hope on your healing journey. I approach each session with curiosity, realness, and humility. My therapeutic interventions are rooted in cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and attachment theories and I value and support the exploration of intersecting identities and the impact of systemic bias, racism, and privilege on mental, interpersonal, and community wellbeing. Regardless of our focus, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space as we face life's challenges together, and my hope is that you will leave each session feeling both challenged and nurtured.
