Hi there, I'm Kiara!

My focus is helping clients with stress and anxiety, Depression, relationship issues, trauma, and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

My approach

I take a client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based approach to therapy. My style is humanistic, culturally sensitive, and strength-based. I also incorporate elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when appropriate.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and minors aged 13-17. My specialties include anxiety, coping skills, depression, job stress, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress management, trauma, PTSD, and women's issues.

My communication style

I believe in creating an open, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings. I aim to be a supportive presence in your journey of growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Masters of Arts (MA) in Psychology from Argosy University in Alameda, CA. I completed my degree between March 2013 and April 2015. Helping others live more fulfilling lives is my passion and drove me to pursue a career in mental healthcare.

My goals for you

My goal is to support you in taking brave steps towards positive change, to help you develop coping skills, gain self-awareness, and lead a happier life. I'm here to walk alongside you in this courageous process.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and start to get to know each other. I want to understand your unique story, challenges and goals. We'll collaborate to create a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for your healing and growth. Remember, taking this first step is a sign of strength.
