Kelli joined the Denver Women’s Recovery team as a Primary Therapist in September of 2022, having previously honed her passion for working with women overcoming addiction as a Clinical Case Manager in 2021. Kelli obtained her BA from the University of Colorado, and graduated with her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. Kelli works from a foundation of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, with a focus on collaborating with each client to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, compassion, respect, and honesty.
