Kelly studied Play Therapy at Regis University and has experience with a wide-range of children and can accommodate a variety of cognitive and emotional needs. She has been privileged to see so many students discover their natural skills and abilities and reach results they never dreamed were possible.

Kelly collaborates with her students to determine their needs, goals, and abilities. She specializes in working with students with learning differences and has a gentle, child-centered, approach that works to build confidence and skill.
