Dr. Kelli began her counseling career over twenty-five years ago working with children, teens and families in various roles through clinical mental health counseling, parent education and consulting services. Author of the published book and DVD set, Come Play with Me!, she taught parents and caregivers how to use Adlerian play therapy skills with children for many years. Dr. Kelli earned her Ph.D. in Counseling from Georgia State University in 2003. She taught parenting classes, saw individual clients and taught as an adjunct professor through 2010. In 2011, Kelli joined the Counseling Department at Argosy University as a full-time faculty member. While working as an Associate Professor in Counseling, her primary research interest involved how to create environments that are more likely to help people live courageous, resilient and wholehearted lives.

Always interested in health and fitness, Dr. Kelli’s personal experience with her father’s cancer diagnosis brought a renewed focus in wellness to her work. She developed a Wellness and Resilience in Counseling elective course while working in counselor education and became fascinated with the gut-brain connection. Dr. Kelli left academia in 2019 to begin a full-time holistic psychotherapy practice. It didn’t take long for her to realize her true passion is combining nutrition & quantum healing. Trauma competent and trained in Functional Nutritional Therapy, Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition, Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health, Quantum Biology and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Dr. Kelli is able to combine a variety of highly effective approaches in her work.
