Are you successful, yet sad & self critical? Are you stuck in circular fights with your partner? Do you feel blocked from living your best life? For 49 years, I have helped people remove the inner barriers that keep them from having what they truly want. I offer a Free Confidential initial phone assessment so we can discuss your issues and see if we're a good match. Sometimes it takes opening up with a skilled, caring & experienced therapist whose only goal is to get you to the place where you are living more joyfully, feeling connected to yourself and others, relating more easily, feeling balanced and being more fully yourself.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in my deep respect and genuine interest in people. Since I am an expressive and inquisitive person, it comes naturally to me to practice a style of therapy that is both interactive and eclectic. I offer insights, observations, suggestions, feedback, as well as attentive listening. I am adaptable and able to adjust my style according to what works best for the client. As a team, my clients and I work together to find creative solutions to overcome obstacles to growth and well-being.

I work primarily with capable women who carry significant responsibilities-professionals, caregivers, and women who are often the emotional backbone of their communities. The women I work often are navigating trauma histories, anxiety, caregiving for children or aging parents, the impact of parental narcissism, or neurodiversity, while continuing to show up competently in demanding roles. With nearly four decades of clinical experience, and licensure in California and AZ, I bring a highly informed approach to therapy. I also serve as a hospital therapeutic consultant I am a member of the Oxford (UK) Mindfulness Teacher's Community.

Hi, friend. I'm Kelly. I'm a certified life coach helping you make hard decisions and do hard things. Like you, I spent decades putting others' needs before my own—at work, in my family of origin, and in my own home. After almost 20 years of leadership roles and a lifetime’s worth of plot twists in my personal life (religious and work trauma, chronic illness, late-identified neurodivergence, coming out as queer, and supporting both my spouse and child through gender transitions), I made the decision in 2018 to help others discover the joy, peace, and clarity that comes with finally identifying and prioritizing your own needs.

Are you holding it together on the outside but on the inside it feels VERY different? Do you feel gripped by anxiety, self-doubt, anger, fear, or numbness? Having thoughts that you are not enough, or too much, or that you should be perfect? There is a reason this is happening. I believe change happens through compassionate accompaniment in intentionally held spaces that allow us to explore and integrate parts of ourselves that are causing inner tensions. Through an accepting and supportive environment therapy helps to regulate emotion and promote lasting change.

As an integrative psychotherapist I draw from a wide range of interventions including CBT and DBT, mindfulness practices, somatic interventions, Psychodynamic principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Expressive Arts.
The last few years have been especially difficult and if you are feeling stressed, anxious, run down or depressed you are definitely not alone; and there is help. I support folks in navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, grief and loss, relationship issues and life transitions in order to find more balance and peace in their lives. I combine warmth, authenticity, compassion and cultural responsiveness to cultivate a space where you can feel safe to process difficult emotions, learn new skills, and increase your sense of balance between mind, body and spirit.

I utilize an integrative approach in my treatment using somatic interventions and attachment-based theories with a trauma-informed lens.
Is anxiety, depression, fear or a traumatic past leaving you feeling numb, flat or emotionally disconnected from others, and more importantly yourself? Perhaps you keep choosing the wrong partners or stay in unhappy relationships not knowing how to move forward. Maybe intergenerational trauma is impacting your emotional wellness and you want to stop that cycle from passing onto future generations. What if there's a way to feel more consciously embodied? If you are ready to let go of your painful past, oppressive narratives, and limiting beliefs; I am here to help guide you through your healing journey.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

Do you feel like you have to have it all together, even when you're running on empty? A lot of men come to therapy after years of pushing feelings aside, staying busy, or telling themselves to just deal with it. That is until self-criticism, shutdown, or strained relationships catch up with them. I help men figure out what's actually going on underneath the surface and build a straightforward, practical path forward. Therapy with me is paced, direct, and judgment-free, focused on helping you feel more grounded, understood, and back in control.

Seeking out therapy is a very heroic action in and of itself, perhaps your first proactive step into redefining your sense of self, creating a new life story, and taking a leap into the direction of self-care. If you are reading this, you may be in a state of uncertainty, or perhaps connected more deeply than you would like to be to the effects of depression, anxiety, or your daily life situations. Maybe, you are wrestling in a relationship with someone you love; perhaps, finding the words to communicate who you are and how you feel may seem unattainable and challenging at best.
