Hi there, I'm Kissy!

Sometimes you know a relationship, thought pattern, or behavior isn’t healthy for you, but knowing that doesn’t always make it easier to change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, attachment concerns, and substance use. As a bilingual Black and Hispanic therapist, I provide therapy in both.

My focus

I especially enjoy working with adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, unhealthy relationship patterns, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, low self-worth, depression, trauma, or substance use. You may understand what needs to change but find yourself repeating the same patterns. That is often where our work begins.

My approach

My approach is warm, curious, and insight-oriented. I integrate CBT, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapy to help you understand not only what you are experiencing, but why certain thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns continue to show up.
