Honoring the deep wisdom of intensity, complexity and creativity.
Aliveness is at the heart of intensity—our deepest vitality and self longing to be lived.
For those who experience life intensely and complexly, intensity can feel too much—too fast, too deep, too sensitive. Without supportive space to exist, this energy can go underground leading to various dis-ruptions: in one's sense of belonging, in the authentic expression of one's gifts, in the ability to find one's way in the world.
​
Intensity is not a flaw or pathology. It is a form of intelligence—a creative life force engendering a way of being in the world that is relational, perceptive, and quiveringly alive.
​
My work—whether through embodied depth sessions, qualitative giftedness assessments, or coaching, mentorship and consultation—centers on a process of re-membering this aliveness and learning how to consciously participate with it in concert with your deepest self. It is a process of liberating your gifts by attuning to what intensity is protecting and longing to become within the unique context of your life.
Welcome.
I'm Kelly, a depth-oriented coach facilitating personal growth with adults (16+) who identify as highly sensitive, intense, creative, neurocomplex, gifted or twice-exceptional (2e). I work online globally with a sensitivity to the power of embodied mindfulness, imagination and depth work to guide each person toward coming home to their whole self with life-forward energy.

In addition to walking my own path of neurodivergence discovery—both personally and as a parent, I hold a PhD in psychology and will begin training as a Jungian Analyst in Fall 2025 to better serve deep thinkers, feelers and seekers. I'm also the founding director of the Gifted Mindfulness Collective in collaboration with my friend and colleague Jennifer Harvey Sallin of InterGifted, where I facilitate community spaces, courses and workshops.
You can stay up-to-date on my offerings and explorations at the intersection of embodied mindfulness, depth psychology and giftedness/neurocomplexity through my Substack, Dancing at the Edge.
"It's an eternal set of principles and a long list of attributes that you get to choose from to hand-make your own life in your own way that fits for your gifts, your soul's longings, your intellectual capacity; your ability to be and to love and to care for this world, to care for others and for yourself too."
