Life Coaching Therapists in San Jose, CA

Just a safe and affirming space in which to unpack your overwhelm, unlearn harmful patterns, and begin crafting a life grounded in authenticity and joy.
Welcome! I'm Kelly, a certified professional life coach with a gentle, strengths-based approach. I help women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community break cycles of dysfunction and self-sacrifice to finally claim the lives they need. My coaching philosophy is grounded in psychodynamic theory and incorporates concepts borrowed from Internal Family Systems, Co-Active Coaching, and somatic work. While the work we do together is not psychotherapy (my role is not to diagnose or treat mental illness), the pace and rhythm of my coaching sessions are very similar to what you would experience in a therapist’s office.

I didn’t need to "suck it up" throughout my life struggles.
Awareness is the first step. Our "symptoms" flare when we are in a state of unrest. Environments, co-existing conditions, sleep, nutrition, lack of exercise, and many other reasons can trigger these. Our support is guided by finding where the unrest lies, unpacking it, and then co-creating strategic solutions for each client's unique characteristics and situations.
I use a variety of tools for reflection, discovery of strengths/challenges, meditation, and even exercise. One of the most important tools we bring is having a trained ADHD lens to look through when supporting one with ADHD.

Hello, pull up a chair and let's chat. I approach therapy with the belief that 1) life is full of highs & lows, 2) we aren't born with all the healthy coping tools, and 3) that with compassionate support we can grow from these experiences to level up. Our brain & body are fascinating systems and I enjoy teaching people how they contribute to our actions and feelings. I have 10+ years of experience offering individual and couples (pre-marital & marriage) counseling with emphasis on communication using an eclectic empowered approach based in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, along with different approaches.
