Hello and welcome to Little Big Therapy! I'm Kelly, the owner and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, Missouri and Pennsylvania. My undergraduate college journey started at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois and concluded when I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Northern Colorado. In 2013 I graduated from Capella University with my Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been working with kids and teens since 2016 throughout my internship and practicum, but obtained my LMFT license in 2020. 

Working with kiddos is my absolute passion and a privilege I do not take lightly. In your time with me we will work collaboratively to identify what isn’t working for your child and the family, while empowering your kiddo to help us understand what they need, utilizing various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Parent Child Interaction Therapy and Play Therapy.

I take immense pride in the opportunities given to me and work hard to assist my clients with effecting the change they wish to see.

Children and adolescents are struggling now more than ever before. From anxiety and depression to family issues and peer group worries, children of all ages need a safe space to unload the many overwhelming thoughts and concerns that can alter their mood, outlook and motivation. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you feel I could be a good fit!
