Kelly grew up on the East Coast in Delaware and attended college near Pittsburgh, where she first discovered her passion for helping others. A month spent in rural Guatemala conducting research on child nutrition sparked her interest in public health and ultimately led her to San Antonio for a year-long volunteer program. Though she arrived knowing no one—and having never visited Texas—she quickly fell in love with the community and decided to make it home.

Kelly’s journey eventually led her to the field of therapy, where she now helps others navigate their own paths of growth and healing. Self-discovery has remained a guiding theme throughout her life, shaped by her love of travel, the outdoors, and her own meaningful experiences in therapy.
