Are you worried about your teenager’s wellbeing as they steamroll into adulthood at a pace that is daunting? And do you feel that your line of connection/communication is dwindling throughout the process? What if you did not have to do this alone? A mentor can be a transformative catalyst to help your budding adult through this stage of their lives and help alleviate the stressors on the family.
I have over 20 years of experience working with youth in various settings: the classroom, the wilderness, circles, and one-on-one mentoring. As I mentor, I meet your teenager in the full-range of their being and help them get comfortable with who they are.

“During my adolescence, having the privilege to work with Kelly was one of the most beneficial and transformative experiences I’ve had. She held my hand through some very emotionally challenging points and created an environment that was open, accepting, relaxed, and intimate. Whether we took a walk with her dogs, sipped tea somewhere, or just enjoyed each other’s company in the comfort of her home, Kelly knew how to hold the space in a way where I felt completely validated and held. Everything about our time together felt so natural, which contributed to the empathetic and nurturing space. Kelly undoubtedly became one of the closest people to me in my life.” ~ Bianca, 24 years old, Preschool Teacher
“Kelly was a foundational piece of my adolescence. Kelly is an unwavering force of compassion, wisdom, and guidance. She has helped me learn the importance of deep inquiry into myself and how to have the courage to accept, with grace, whatever the truth really is. Through many miles on trails and many nights around campfires deep in the backcountry, Kelly has helped me to learn these lessons. She is a skilled guide, facilitator, and true friend at the core of all that. My life is lucky for the time, laughs, and beautiful spaces I have gotten to share with Kelly.” ~ Kaj, 23 years old, Facilitator and Adventure Guide
“Kelly has helped me so much as I navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. I know that she is always there for me. She has taught me to take life one step at a time and how to ground myself during hard and stressful moments. She is the most kind and understanding person I know. I can always go to her for advice and can tell her anything in the safe, and non-judgemental space she provides. I always feel better after talking to her and am forever grateful to know her.” ~ Ella, 17 years old
