About Kelley: 

Kelley received her Masters in Social Work at Arizona State University.  She has close to 20 years experience in the field of behavioral health. She is the founder of North Valley Center for Hope in Arizona and Rocky Mountain Center for Hope in Colorado. She is licensed to practice in both states.

Kelley’s first experience in working with traumatic losses began while assigned to the Phoenix Fire Department's Crisis Response (CR) Unit during her graduate internship In 2010.  There she recognized the essential need for individuals in crisis to have a mindful and attentive therapeutic presence on the very worst day of their life. This experience so profoundly affected her that she knew from that point on working in the area of crisis, grief and trauma is where she needed to be. 

Since that time Kelley has focused her efforts by gaining more specialized  and advanced training in traumatic grief, including becoming a Certified Grief Educator by author David Kessler and Certified Compassionate Bereavement Care (CBC) provider from the Miss Foundation. She has worked in emergency rooms for over a decade providing crisis intervention and therapy with those bereaved.  Kelley is an approved  grief therapist for the well known support group, Survivors of Suicide (SOS). She is presently in the process of completing grief training with national grief expert and author Alan Wolfelt in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Kelley has worked closely with those who have experienced losses due to miscarriage/stillborn, suicide, homicide, overdose, accidental death, medical malpractice, cancer, child loss and prolonged illness.  She also has experience working with high profile clientele involved in a loss and needing special accommodations due to privacy and intrusion of media coverage. 

Kelley facilitates a Traumatic Grief Support Group for adults with loss.

Kelley's desire to focus her private practice on grief and loss has been strongly shaped by several personal losses including her longtime childhood friend of 15 years, her father to cancer in his 50’s and brother, by suicide. 

When not working, Kelley enjoys traveling, watching baseball, hiking and attending live music events.  She is a mother to two daughters and has a grandson.

Kelley currently sees clients VIRTUALLY only Monday tthough Thursday.
