Therapeutic style:

As a trained psychologist, I specialize in CBT for anxiety-related disorders (social anxiety, panic, phobia, GAD, perfectionism, body image), ERP for OCD-related disorders (hoarding, BDD, skin picking, hair pulling), and DBT for emotion dysregulation. I also provide support with relationship problems, stress management, and career/life transitions. 

 

With my holistic approach, I am committed to helping stabilize your overall wellness by strengthening self-care, quality of life, emotional & physical health, interpersonal relationships, and healthy routines.

I recognize the uniqueness of each individual and will tailor your treatment goals to fit your pace, needs, and expectations focusing on enhancing your self-awareness and self-compassion. We will collaboratively process past and current life stressors in addition to identifying coping tools that will fit your needs in a safe and comfortable environment.

 

I understand how life stressors may get in the way of goals or mental stamina. I am here to help you along your life journey whether its learning skills, supportive coaching, or needing a shoulder to lean on. Together we will discover your personal strengths and aim for continuous self-growth to live an empowered and meaningful life.

Dr. Keller's Story

I have been providing evidence-based therapeutic treatment individuals across the lifespan for the past several years. I have extensive expertise in the area of CBT, ERP, DBT for severe anxiety-related disorders. I also have clinical experience conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations including psychoeducational and personality testing.

 

I earned my doctorate degree in school psychology from Nova Southeastern University. My practicum experiences involved opportunities in school psychology (public and private schools); Equine-assisted therapy; ChildNet Foster care; and formal assessments and clinical therapy. My internship placement at Centerstone in Sarasota, FL was in an Outpatient Clinic for youth at a community-based mental health center providing individual, family, and group therapy in addition to conducting psychological assessments.

​

My dissertation research focused on how to incorporate mindfulness interventions into the academic curriculum for children and adolescents.

My research areas have focused on publications in OCD, hoarding, and BDD case studies.  My current research interest areas include attachment-based modalities, synesthesia, integrative nutrition, complex trauma, energy healing, and a sustainable lifestyle.

 

My personal interest involves building a lifestyle surrounded with people and things I enjoy and am grateful for. A few of these being my family, friends, live music, animals, nature, meditation, healthy nutrition, sustainable, and non-toxic living.
