Approach
Thoughtful therapy that goes beneath the surface without losing practicality.
Kelly’s work integrates psychodynamic and relational therapy with attachment-based, trauma-informed care. The focus is not just on symptom relief, but on understanding patterns, strengthening regulation, and creating more room for connection, choice, and self-trust.
Relational and attachment-focused
Therapy explores how early relationships and present environments shape self-protection, intimacy, and identity.
Developmentally informed
Work with children, teens, and families reflects each person’s stage of development, nervous system, and communication style.
Holistic by design
Sleep, movement, nourishment, social support, and environment are treated as real parts of emotional health, not afterthoughts.
Specialties
Support for the places people often look “fine” from the outside.
This practice is especially aligned with thoughtful, sensitive, self-aware people who want more than symptom management alone, as well as families needing attuned support around neurodivergence and regulation.
High-functioning anxiety
For people who appear capable and composed while privately carrying overthinking, perfectionism, pressure, or chronic self-criticism.
Dating and relationships
Space to work with attachment patterns, mixed signals, emotional unavailability, boundaries, and the strain of modern dating.
Neurodivergent families
Support for autism, ADHD, regulation differences, diagnosis questions, advocacy, parent coaching, and family stress.
Burnout and perfectionism
Therapy for the tension between ambition and depletion, especially when productivity has become tied to worth.
Children, teens, and young adults
Developmentally responsive care for overwhelm, emotional pain, identity questions, transitions, and family conflict.
Parent support
Coaching that strengthens co-regulation, attuned communication, boundaries, and the emotional climate of the home.
Therapy can be a place to slow down enough to hear yourself again.
Sometimes healing begins by creating enough steadiness to notice what you feel, what you need, and what has been asking for care.
Services
Collaborative care, shaped around the life you are actually living.
Services are tailored to the person, relationship, or family in front of you. The work stays warm and collaborative, while still offering structure, reflection, and a clear therapeutic direction.
Individual therapy
For children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, identity, emotional pain, transitions, relational stress, and overwhelm.
Couples therapy
Attachment-oriented work to repair injuries, soften reactive cycles, and strengthen communication and emotional closeness.
Parent coaching
Support for co-regulation, developmental understanding, boundaries, and responding with more confidence and attunement.
Walk and Talk sessions
Available in Hermosa Beach for clients who feel more present, regulated, or open while moving alongside the ocean.

Writing
Public thought shaped by care, service, and the larger systems that affect well-being.
Writing extends the work beyond the therapy room. It is one way Kelly thinks publicly about emotional life, social conditions, and the responsibilities we have to one another.
