Kelly is a seasoned positive psychology coach who practices what she preaches and finds flow in the writing process.
After the loss of a special family member, Kelly found purpose in the world of positive psychology. By deploying tools and strategies from the field in her own family, she realized she could help others. Aiding families in the development of improvement plans and increased communication skills continues to be a passion project with her course in resilience, Brighter Family Experience.
When not fully immersed in positive psychology coaching, Kelly loves camping, hiking, and collecting visits to National Parks with her family.
