Hey, I’m Kaela.
I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist located in Redondo Beach working with teens, young women, and families navigating eating disorders, addiction, and family conflict.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in person-centered and humanistic principles. In therapy with me, you don’t have to perform, impress, or have it all figured out. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — messy thoughts, big feelings, bad days and all — and feel truly safe, supported, and understood.
My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. There’s no hierarchy in the room — I’m not here as the authority on your life. We work together as a team, moving at your pace, building insight, self-trust, and tools that actually fit your real life. I’m nurturing and empathetic, while also being gently direct when something needs to be explored or challenged.
Education
I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Phillips Graduate Program at Campbellsville University, where I received training rooted in relational, ethical, and systems-based care.
Experience
My clinical experience includes work in detox and residential inpatient substance use treatment, supporting individuals struggling with drug and alcohol dependence. I have also worked with individuals on federal probation and pretrial supervision as they navigated recovery and legal-system involvement. Additionally, I have experience in outpatient and internship settings providing therapy to individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents.
I have supported clients navigating:
Substance Use Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder
ADHD
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Adjustment Disorders
Relationship Distress
Fees & Availability
I believe transparency around fees, scheduling, and session format is an important part of creating a supportive and accessible therapeutic experience.
-
Individual sessions: $170+
Couples, family, or parent sessions: $185+
Fees may vary depending on session length or specific needs. Please reach out if you have questions about what option is best for you.
-
We are an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill your insurance company directly. If you are interested in using insurance for therapy, we can provide you with a monthly Superbill for services rendered, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Reimbursement for out-of-network benefits is solely dependent on your specific insurance carrier and plan. All payments and fees are due at the time of service.
We do not communicate directly with insurance, so please be sure to confirm your benefits and coverage with your insurance provider prior to scheduling your first session.
-
I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Telehealth sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.
-
I am currently accepting new clients and have immediate openings.
Monday–Thursday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Friday: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
If you are interested in working together, I encourage you to reach out to schedule a consultation or ask any questions you may have.
-
Please be advised that clients must cancel or reschedule an appointment at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled time or they will be held responsible for paying the full fee for the missed session.
