She has a passion for helping families and individuals going through life transitions, anxiety, stress management, and academic challenges.

Kelli recently returned to Lewis University to complete the necessary classes for her LPC, which has been her longtime goal.

“I became a counselor because of my positive interactions with my own high school guidance counselor. I felt like I was supported and encouraged to make the best choices possible and she left a strong imprint on my passion to advocate for others when needed. I have pursued a long career of helping individuals by meeting them where they are, helping them define what success means to them personally, and making a plan to get there.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my teenage daughters. I also enjoy live comedy, reading, traveling, and board/card games.”
