​Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I’m Kelleigh (pronounced Kelly), a licensed trauma therapist based in Dallas, TX.

 

People and their stories have always mattered to me. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals from many different backgrounds, supporting them as they navigate challenges, rediscover their worth, and build lives that feel honest and fulfilling.

 

I’m especially drawn to people who feel things deeply, strive for perfection, or carry the quiet weight of being the one everyone counts on. Maybe you’re a high achiever who stays calm under pressure, the problem-solver others lean on, or someone who seems to have it all together while feeling something very different inside. Whether you experience emotions intensely or pride yourself on staying steady, that strength can sometimes make it hard to let others care for you. I love creating a space where even the strongest can finally exhale. Where you can reconnect with yourself, find meaning, and feel free to be fully human.

​

My faith is an important part of who I am, and while I will never impose my beliefs, I welcome conversations around spirituality. I especially enjoy working with those who have been part of faith communities whether that experience has brought comfort, questions, hurt, or all of the above.

 

At the heart of my work is a belief that healing happens through connection, compassion, and being truly seen. In our time together, you can expect a space that is warm, trauma-informed, and judgment-free. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, bring clarity to the chaos, and take steps toward a life that feels lighter, more grounded, and whole.

You don’t have to carry it alone. I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
