Tori is an avid writer and poet and is represented by Joyce Sweeney of The Seymour Agency.

Her advice column, Talking With Tori, was published in The South Lake Press weekly for five years. Dr. Kelley teaches Creative Resilience: Story, Music, Art Therapy to heal others and herself from childhood trauma.

Under just her first name, Tori writes transformative music and invites you to listen to her albums, True To You and Beautiful Pain, which contain original songs of personal tragedy and triumph.
