University Counselor
University of New Hampshire, B.A. Psychology
University of New Hampshsire, M.Ed. Counseling
Kelly graduated from the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH with a degree in Psychology. After several years of working in the hospitality industry, Kelly decided to head back to her alma mater to pursue her Masters in Education Counseling. Because her program at UNH did not offer a specialty in college health, Kelly pioneered the first Masters level internship at the university's health services and set up future graduates interested in college health with a place to get that experience.
Prior to joining SNHU as the University Counselor, Kelly was the Wellness Educator/Counselor at UNH's Health Services. Her counseling specialties include working with students who are concerned about their own drinking or someone that they loves drinking, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, communication skills and stress management. Kelly's style and approach to counseling can be compared to that of a "benevolent bulldog". She is a patient and active listener who believes in being truly present to all of her students. She has the utmost respect and care for the privacy and trust of the counseling relationship. She will not accept contradictions, will hold anyone accountable for their words and insists on clarity. Kelly will challenge students when she thinks it is warranted and will accept no less that the utmost respect and honesty in a counseling relationship. She practices counseling with care, concern and respect.
In her free time, Kelly loves to run, practices Bikram yoga and enjoys sailing. She likes playing cards and board games with friends and family and engaging in discussions on self-improvement, the relationships in our lives and the true purpose of life. Some little unknown facts about Kelly are that she loves sharks and actually aspires to swim with them in South Africa. Kelly is also a novice palm reader and hopes to make it to the Serengeti of Africa for a safari trip.
